Forgot to make dessert? Try this easy peasy quickie.

I was suppose to make some rum truffles yesterday, but totally forgot. So, I came up with this chocolate orange & coconut mouse type thing.

Serves 4:

1 tub double cream
2 tbsp cocao powder
1 tbsp sweetener (I use Natvia)
1 tbsp desiccated coconut
a few drops of orange extract

Place all ingredients in a bowl & use an electric whisk to whisk it up until very thick. Scrape into serving bowls & you're ready to go.🙂

Sounds good let from coconut! Have you any substitute suggestions? Ta

 

[Mark Parrott]

My suggestion would be to leave out the coconut.🙂. You could also use chopped nuts I suppose. Or any berries that go with chocolate.

I used a 300ml tub. I suppose you could use creme fraiche as a lower calorie option.

Yeah, why not. Would give it some texture.
