This Vegan Rice Chocolate Mousse is a creamy, smooth, and indulgent dessert that combines the richness of dark chocolate with the light texture of rice. It’s gluten-free, vegan, and perfect for a healthy treat that melts in your mouth with every bite.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 200 g (7 oz) uncooked white rice (Japanese rice recommended)
  • 60 g (2 oz) dark chocolate (ensure vegan and refined sugar free if necessary)
  • 140 ml (⅔ cup) unsweetened rice milk (or substitute any other plant-based milk)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or any other sweetener of choice)

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Prepare the rice according to the instructions on the packet, ensuring it is fully cooked and soft to achieve a smooth mousse texture.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate using a bain-marie or microwave until smooth and fully melted, taking care not to burn it.
  3. Blend ingredients: Combine the cooked rice, melted chocolate, unsweetened rice milk, and maple syrup in a food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stirring occasionally to ensure even mixing.
  4. Adjust sweetness: Taste the mousse and add more maple syrup if a sweeter flavor is desired, blending again briefly to incorporate.
  5. Chill to set: Transfer the mousse into small glass pots or jars and refrigerate for a couple of hours to allow the mousse to firm up and develop its velvety texture.
  6. Serve and store: Serve chilled. The mousse keeps well covered in the fridge for up to a couple of days.

Notes

  • Use Japanese rice for the creamiest texture.
  • Melt chocolate gently to avoid burning.
  • You can substitute rice milk with any other plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
  • Adjust the sweetness based on personal preference by adding more maple syrup.
  • Store the mousse covered in the fridge and consume within two days for best freshness.
