I made this yummy IQS chocolate mousse (purportedly the best vegan chocolate mousse around) after seeing it suggested as a healthy Halloween treat on iquitsugar.com the other day. I loved their suggestion of turning the chocolate mousse cups into spooky little diorama treats!
These were super-easy to assemble; approximately 100 x less labour intensive than baking and decorating Halloween cupcakes. 😉 So if you’re looking for a healthy, vegan, raw, gluten-free, sugar-free, chocolate treat that’s both festive AND delicious, look no further!

THE BEST VEGAN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE, SPOOKIFIED
Recipe only slightly tweaked from the amazing I Quit Sugar recipe, which you can find at iquitsugar.com
INGREDIENTS
400 ml can coconut cream
100 ml raw cacao powder
35 ml rice malt syrup
60 ml chia seeds
1-2 tbsp cacao nibs
A few large mint leaves, chopped finely
DIRECTIONS
- Combine coconut cream, cacao powder, rice malt syrup and chia seeds in a large mixing bowl, whisking until smooth.
- Pour into 4 serving glasses. Chill in the fridge for around 2 hours, or until firmly set.
- Add little headstones*, sprinkle some chopped mint (grass!) around the inside edge of each mousse cup, then add Halloween characters (I used Lego** skeleton figures), pushing them just the tiniest way into the mousse so that it looks as though they are emerging from it. Finally, sprinkle some crushed cacao nibs around the figures to create small piles of “earth”… and, voilà; a slightly scary, IQS-style, sugar-free treat!
If you’re celebrating Halloween, enjoy!
If not, I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

*I can upload free printable headstone graphics if anyone is interested. They can, when adhered to toothpicks or ice-cream sticks, be used as pictured, or as cupcake toppers.
**Obviously Lego pieces are not edible decorations and MUST (it should go without saying) be removed before serving. Our children had no access to the small pieces at any point of the assembly or serving of this dessert, but still loved and appreciated the look of them prior to serving.
These are sooo cute and look delicious!
Thank you, Tracy! 🙂 xxx
Love the lego! Recipe looks a great alternative 🙂
Happy Halloween 😊
Have a great weekend too xx
Cute and spooky. The mint makes very effective grass.
What a great treat and healthy too, awesome!
Thank you. Lily! 🙂 xx
It is a superb vegan dessert without any sugar, great! 🙂
Thanks, lovely! 🙂 xx
What a clever idea!
I can’t claim ownership on anything but the addition of lego men, mint and cacao nibs. Very grateful to IQS for sharing this idea… just in the nick of time 🙂 Hope you had a good weekend! xxx
Coolest vegan dish ever, this mousse is dying to be eaten 😀

Oh wow! I wouldn’t know whether to devour this or run screaming 😉 What a great dessert!
haha- thank you, lovely! xx
these are so awesome!! maybe I’ll try it next Halloween. I’ve always loved chocolate mousse. 🙂
Thanks, sweet K.Z.! These are a good alternative to sugary snacks… or a way of compensating for the ones that are sugary 😉 xxxx
Halloween perfect!! (never knew there were skeleton legos!!) and loved your glasses, beautiful shape.
Hope you had a very Happy Halloween! I may not have gone trick-or-treating for the past decade, but I’d sure love to scare up a glass of this luscious mousse for myself. 😉
A lovely spooky treat…like the presentation!
Coconut cream?! Now that is something I have not used yet. These little chocolate pots look delicious – eh sorry, I mean horrifically scary 😉
These are so darling and looks so good. The presentation is everything.
Oh yum, Miss M.
The neighbourhood kids are getting more flamboyant dressing up in their scary and way-out outfits – very cute. I would have loved to have been able to give them these yummy treats; they were satisfied, though, with ‘bought’ chocolate treats. They didn’t complain! 😉
Lovely halloween chocolat mouse !!!!! Looks perfect ! 😀
I love this. What a great idea! “-)
