Easy and Delish 5 min Chocolate Mousse

Prep time: 5 min
Serves 2-4 depending on your desired serving size

Place all ingredients in food processor and process until smooth:
1 (14oz) can of Full Fat Coconut Milk - I use Trader Joe's Coconut Cream :) This is the kind I buy!
2T Honey
2T Peanut Butter (Or Almond or Cashew Butter)
2T Unsweetened Cocoa Powder or Raw Cacao This is the kind I buy!
1t Vanilla Extract

Serve immediately or place in refrigerator for soft mousse later or the freezer for a harder, ice cream-like consistency.

*Important note: Upon purchasing coconut milk, do not jostle can. Place it in refrigerator and refrigerate for 12-24 hours. This hardens the cream on top. If you fail to do this, you will have a very runny dessert. It will not be moussey :-/ As a Plan B, just stick it in the freezer to harden and then pull it out 5-10 min before it will be eaten. It will be more of an ice cream consistency.
