It is finally time for another Spiked! Recipe Challenge….I was going through withdrawals, how about you? I love these challenges, they really make me think and get creative. Well sometimes they make me think a little bit too much! The Spiked ingredient for this challenge is Chocolate Liqueur, so my mind went into overdrive…..

Maybe a chocolate sweet roll….or some kind of pasta with a chocolate cream sauce. Well then I broke my back molar (while eating chocolate chip cookie dough) and needed to switch to soft foods that don’t need to be chewed…..Chocolate Martini Mousse it is!

It is rich and creamy, and best of all, my version is dairy-free!!! Feel free to substitute heavy cream in place of the coconut milk, it might even turn out fluffier!

How to make Chocolate Martini Mousse:

The most difficult part of this recipe, is the wait time. We start by weighing our chocolate. I used chocolate chips because that was what I had on hand…..

Now this is where things get a little crazy, so listen closely. Grab a can of coconut milk out of the pantry…the kind in a can…and open it WITHOUT shaking it. We want the cream that collects at the top…..

  1. These Mousse Martinis look wonderful. I’ve just started experimenting with coconut mild and now I have another recipe to try. I even have a bottle of Gadiva chocolate liquor in my cabinet and since it’s been there quite a long time, I’m ready to try some in this recipe.

    1. Awwww, thank you Deb. 🙂 Just remind John that alcohol never goes bad, so you will use it up at some point. 😉 That’s Lisa logic for you!! Or throw a really big party. 🙂

  2. Mmmmm! What a yummy adult dessert, Lisa! And such a creative way to use the liqueur! 🙂
