These Reindeer Chocolate Mousse Cups are a fun, festive dessert made with creamy chocolate mousse, rich ganache, and simple wholesome ingredients—perfect for holiday parties and kid-friendly treats!
Whip the coconut cream
1 The night before, place your cans of coconut milk in the refrigerator. A half hour before starting, place the mixing bowl and whisk in your refrigerator to chill.
2 Whip the coconut cream (only the thick part at the top of a chilled can of coconut milk) until soft peaks form.
Make the mousse
4 Melt the chocolate chips until smooth. Let cool slightly, then whisk in the kefir until glossy and fully combined. Gently fold in whipped coconut cream until light and fluffy.
Chill
6 Spoon the mousse into small cups or jars and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, until set.
Prepare the ganache
8 Heat coconut cream until warm (not boiling). Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Once cooled, stir in the kefir
Top the mousse
10 Pipe the ganache over each mousse cup and let it set slightly.
Decorate the reindeer
14 Pipe chocolate on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper into antler shapes and freeze for 5 minutes. Once hardened, insert into the ganache. Another option is to add pretzels for the antlers.
12 Draw two eyes on the front of each cup.
13 Attach a red pom-pom or candy for the nose.
Chill or serve
