Small white flakes of sea salt are sprinkled on the chocolate tops, adding texture and contrast. The plate sits on a white marbled textured surface with a blurred background that includes a woven basket. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • For the base layer:
    • 1 cup almond flour
    • 1/3 cup flax meal
    • 1/3 cup runny almond butter
    • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
    • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
    • 1/3 cup dairy-free milk
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the chocolate mousse:
    • 1 can (13.5 oz) Edward and Son’s heavy coconut cream
    • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
    • 5 large Medjool dates, pitted
  • For the raspberry jam topping:
    • 10 ounces frozen raspberries
    • 1 cup water
    • 1 tbsp chia seeds
    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a food processor, combine almond flour, flax meal, runny almond butter, Medjool dates, cocoa powder, dairy-free milk, and vanilla extract. Process until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
  2. Step 2: Line parchment paper cups with the dough mixture, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides to create a well in the center. Place the cups in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate mousse.
  3. Step 3: For the chocolate mousse, blend together the heavy coconut cream, cocoa powder, and pitted Medjool dates until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Remove the parchment paper cups from the freezer and fill the center wells with the chocolate mousse mixture. Return the cups to the freezer and let them set for about 2 hours.
  5. Step 5: While the mousse cups are setting, prepare the raspberry jam topping. In a saucepan, combine frozen raspberries, water, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  6. Step 6: Once the raspberry jam has cooled, spoon it onto the set chocolate mousse cups.
  7. Step 7: Optionally, drizzle melted unsweetened chocolate over the tops of the cups for an extra decadent touch.
  8. Step 8: Return the cups to the freezer for a few minutes to set the raspberry jam topping.
  9. Step 9: Serve the Marry Me No Bake Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Cups chilled and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • Use soaked Medjool dates for easier blending and a smoother texture.
  • Substitute almond flour with finely ground cashews for a slightly different nutty flavor.
  • For a boozy twist, add a splash of raspberry liqueur to the raspberry jam mixture while cooking.
  • Top with fresh raspberries or shaved dairy-free chocolate for added texture and presentation.

Storage

Store the mousse cups in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 5 days. To serve, thaw for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to soften slightly for easier eating. Do not refreeze once thawed to maintain the best texture.

How to Serve

The image shows six small chocolate tarts arranged on a white speckled plate set on a white marbled surface. Each tart has two visible layers: the bottom crust is dark brown, rough, and crumbly, forming a cup shape with uneven edges, while the top filling is smooth, creamy, and slightly shiny chocolate mousse, filling the crust to the brim with a few small bubbles on the surface. The tarts are evenly spaced but not perfectly aligned, creating a natural, homemade look. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen for the jam topping?

Yes, fresh raspberries work well. You may need to cook the mixture slightly less time since fresh berries break down faster.

Is this recipe suitable for vegans?

Absolutely. The recipe uses dairy-free milk and coconut cream, and all other ingredients are plant-based, making it vegan-friendly.
