Mmmm .. Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse… but more about that in a minute!

If there is one thing that is a necessary item for my day to even START, it’s a big steaming cup of coffee.  Some people need a hot shower to wake up, some need a brisk walk around the block and some people (like THIS girl!) need that cup o’ joe to pry those eyes open and get those brain waves fired up… and we won’t even mention the positive sunshiny attitude!  My cup of coffee in the morning is really almost a public service.  Trust me on that!

Unfortunately, however, my love of coffee comes with a price and they are called ‘fat’ and ‘calories’. I used to stop at a coffee drive thru on my way to work and order my coffee with six creamers and six sugars.  Can you believe that??  That’s like half my days calories right there. So over time and in the interest of eating and drinking healthier, I have removed the sugar from my coffee but I have not been able to break up with my creamer.  It’s like any other bad relationship.. queue the 1990’s love ballads… sometimes it’s hard to say goodbye.

Until NOW!!!

WOW! That’s all I can say about this dairy-free Silk Creamer.  I usually use Silk Almond Milk in my morning smoothies so you cannot believe how happy I was when I found out they also now make creamer for my coffee. Are you serious?  Coffee is my one weak point when it comes to changing my full fat ways and now Silk makes a dairy-free option?

I jumped my car and headed to the Walmart around the corner.  I cannot tell you how convenient it is to shop in a store where you can find everything you need in one place.  So many smaller stores do not carry everything you might need for a recipe causing you to have to go to two different grocery stores. How is that convenient and how does that save you time?  It doesn’t and that’s why I shop at Walmart.

I walked straight back to the milk and creamer section of the store and there it was! I had my choice of Vanilla, Caramel or Hazelnut so I grabbed the Hazelnut and happily dropped it in my basket and set off to do the rest of my weekly shopping.

Now I will confess, the bakery is my favorite place to start and I usually walk around and drool looking over their pastries, cakes and sweets. My eyes fell on a container of chocolate mousse that had to have at least 7000 calories in it and it occurred to me that I could make mousse at home for a lot less guilt.  Then I looked down at my dairy-free Silk Hazelnut Creamer and I will tell you, I about ran out of that store!!! Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse without the fat and calories?????? YES PLEASE!!

The first thing I did when I got home was brew a big pot of coffee.  I admit, I am very picky when it comes to flavored creamers and often times find they are too sweet and too overpowering.  But I had huge hopes for this new Silk Creamer and I was NOT disappointed. The flavor is creamy and tasty and perfect in every way!!

After I finished my second cup of coffee (maybe it was my third…), I started thinking about this recipe for Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse. This recipe is so easy to make and the Silk Hazelnut Creamer made all the difference in the world. With using just a few ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry, you can whip together the best Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse you can imagine.

I usually have a couple cans of coconut milk chilling in the refrigerator so I grabbed them and after opening the cans, spooned the thick cream from the top into a bowl and then reached for my sugar substitute.  I added just three packets to the bowl and then added in my Unsweetened Dark Cocoa.  Using my electric hand mixer, I whipped the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.  Then I added in a pinch of salt, some vanilla and finally, the Silk Hazelnut Creamer.  Once again, I fired up the mixer and whipped everything together.  It came out perfect!!!!  Thick and full of chocolate hazelnut flavor…. in all of 5 minutes!!!!

    1. Molly, I just started using coconut milk!! I love it! My next adventure is to see if I can use it as frosting .. like a thick moussey frosting on cupcakes. It looks like it would pipe out beautifully and considering I frost cupcakes like a 4 year old, I need all the help I can get. Haha!

  1. I adore everything about this. I also HAVE to start my morning with coffee. I recently had to switch to decaf *sniff* but I still must go through the ritual. Hazelnut flavored creamers are always my first choice. It’s funny, because I went through the exact same thing with coffee. I used to load it up with cream and sugar, and I’ve slowly weaned myself down to no sugar and almond milk (most days). The mousse looks SO tasty!

    1. Thank you Lindsey!! Isn’t funny how addictive that morning coffee is? I’m happy that I have at least cut out the sugar all together but I can’t even get my brain working until that coffee is in front of me. Decaf is not bad.. at least you still get the flavor 🙁

    1. Thank you Razena! This mousse comes together so fast, you don’t even have to wait for it to set up. And with this being so low fat / low sugar, the best part is that no guilt feeling 🙂

    1. Uma… me too!!!! I would probably eat chocolate hazelnut mousse every day if I didn’t think my husband would tease me so much about it.. haha!

    1. Thank you Eileen!! I was really happy with how this recipe turned out and the fact that it is so low in fat and sugar makes it that much better… and lets you eat more of it too… right? Haha!

  2. OMG this looks luscious and simply DIVINE! mouthwatering photos! I need some of that heavenly looking chocolate hazelnut mousse now! Thanks for sharing!
