Dairy Free Tiramisu Chocolate Mousse

This Dairy-Free Tiramisu Chocolate Mousse was inspired by my love of tiramisu and chocolate. Light and smooth chocolate mousse, topped with a dairy-free cream cheese alternative with added rum flavor extract and honey, sprinkled with dark chocolate shavings. What better way to round out this decadent indulgence but with a strawberry compote made with a splash of marsala wine nestled in at the bottom. Layers of luscious flavors that would be perfect for Valentine’s or any special occasion.

Instructions

In a small pot, add strawberries, sugar and a splash of water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until mixture becomes thick. Remove from heat and stir in marsala wine. Spoon in bottom of glasses or dish, let cool.
Next, start on making the mousse layer by separating the egg yolks and egg whites in separate bowls. Set both bowls aside.
Gently melt the chocolate, butter and coffee by using a double boiler, or a medium pot over another slightly larger pot with an inch of almost boiling water. Stir frequently until melted and smooth, then remove from heat.
Stir in beaten egg yolks so they will cook a little while mixture is still hot.
Next, stir in coconut milk until fully incorporated.
In a spotlessly clean and dry metal bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Use a metal spoon to scoop out one large spoonful to incorporate into the chocolate mixture. (This will loosen the mixture and prepare it to evenly receive the rest of the egg whites.)
Now, gently fold in the rest of the egg whites until mostly smooth.
Spoon mixture on top of cooled strawberry compote, evenly dividing between dishes.
To make the creamy topping, simply beat together the dairy-free cream cheese alternative, honey and rum flavor extract until smooth and blended well.
Either spoon or pipe the cream topping on top.
Optional: Grate chocolate on top and garnish with a fresh strawberry and chocolate wafer cookie.
