Well, here we are at the pinnacle of indulgence with this vegan chocolate mousse, and the killer detail: caramelized pecans. Let me tell you, it's amazing! It's crunchy, soft, and not that high in calories, thanks to the plant-based creams naturally low in fat content.

The thing is, as a result, we can never whip a plant-based cream as firmly as a dairy-based cream. But, for chocolate mousse, it's not a problem! In fact, as it cools, the chocolate will "set" the mousse, so don't worry if you find it too liquid at first! One hour in the fridge is enough to set your mousse ;-) .

Steps

Place the soy cream in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
Whip it up until the texture is thick and frothy. Add the powdered sugar.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave and gradually add it while gently stirring.
Pour the mousse into two ramekins and chill in the fridge for one hour.
For the pecans: crush the pecans. Pour the sugar into a saucepan and add two tablespoons of water. Heat without stirring to create a caramel. We recommend swirling the saucepan regularly to ensure even coloring.
When you have a beautiful golden caramel, stop the cooking and add the pecans. Mix everything together and transfer it onto parchment paper.
Allow to cool and then crush to create shards.
Serve the chocolate mousses with a few shavings and enjoy!
