Ingredients:

1 can of full-fat coconut milk (13.5 ounces)

2 tablespoons of cocoa powder without sugar

1/4 cup of cold water

Directions:
1. Cool the coconut milk.

Put the coconut milk can in the fridge overnight. This step is very important because it helps the cream separate from the liquid and become solid, which makes it easier to whip.

Get ready the foundation:

The following day, gently open the cold coconut milk can without shaking it. Put the hardened coconut cream into a bowl. Keep the rest of the liquid for making smoothies or other dishes.

Beat the coconut cream:
Utilize an electric mixer to beat the coconut cream until it becomes airy and fluffy, which should take around 3-5 minutes. The consistency should be like whipped cream.

4. Include Cocoa Powder:

Sprinkle the cocoa powder over the whipped coconut cream to prevent clumps. Carefully mix the cocoa into the cream until it is completely combined, being careful not to let the mixture lose air.

5. Make sure everything is the same.

If the mousse becomes too thick when you add the cocoa powder, gradually stir in some cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until you get the texture you want.

Relax:

Put the mousse in a bowl or separate cups and place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This helps the mousse firm up and enhance its taste.

After cooling, you can serve your chocolate mousse as it is, or add a bit of cocoa powder or coconut flakes on top for a fancier presentation.

Advantages of This Sweet Treat:

This chocolate dessert is simple to prepare and is good for you. Coconut milk is rich in vitamins and minerals, making it a good choice for people who cannot digest lactose or want to avoid dairy products. Cocoa powder, which has many antioxidants, can help improve heart health and make you feel happier.

Indulge in this rich chocolate dessert whenever you crave something sweet without feeling guilty. It shows how basic ingredients can turn into something really amazing.

Is it just me, or has everyone else noticed that sourdough recipes seem to be popping up everywhere? I’ve tried three times to start sourdough dough, and every time it has been a disastrous failure. (The frigid weather was my excuse, I said.)

Make fresh bread in little time at all with this simple recipe that doesn’t need for starter.

What you need:

Flour, bread or all-purpose, 450 g fluid ounces

24 milliliters of quick yeast

1.5 cups of water heated to 110 to 115 degrees

1/4 cup honey (optional)

salt, half a teaspoon

PREPARATION:

Whisk together the yeast, honey, and water. Before setting aside for 5 minutes, mix thoroughly and cover with a moist towel or cloth.

Mash the yeast mixture with the flour and salt.

Knead for two or three minutes after mixing well with a wooden spoon. (Hint: to keep the mixture from sticking, moisten your hands.)

In a warm spot, let the mixture to settle for two hours. My microwave is what I use.

When the two hours are up, stretch and fold! I perform this exercise three times every half an hour.

To shape the dough, set it on a surface that has been lightly dusted with flour. Roll the dough into a ball and set it in a basin or bread basket to rise. (Hint: I put in an hour of rising time while my Dutch oven or oven preheats.)

Heat oven to 450 degrees.

Heat your Dutch oven for half an hour once the oven is prepared. Just five minutes before you want to heat up your Dutch oven. On a sheet of parchment paper, arrange your bread and score it along the edges.

After the Dutch oven has heated up, add the bread. (Hint: add more crunch to the crust by placing an ice cube to generate steam.) Cook for 30 minutes with the lid on and 15 minutes without.

After letting it cool, savor it!

A milk brioche is a rich, tender, and slightly sweet bread that’s perfect for enjoying as a breakfast treat or as a base for delicious sandwiches. Here’s how you can make a delightful milk brioche at home:

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm milk (110°F or 45°C)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:

Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
Mix the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and eggs. Mix until the dough comes together.
Knead the Dough:
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Incorporate the Butter:
Gradually add the softened butter to the dough, kneading until it’s fully incorporated and the dough is soft and slightly sticky.
First Rise:
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until it’s doubled in size.
Shape the Brioche:
Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into equal portions, depending on the shape you want to create (loaf, rolls, etc.). Shape the portions into the desired form and place them in greased baking pans.
Second Rise:
Cover the shaped dough with the kitchen towel again and let it rise for another 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Egg Wash and Bake:
Brush the top of the shaped dough with the beaten egg. This will give the brioche a beautiful golden color when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the brioche is nicely browned and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cool and Enjoy:
Once baked, remove the brioche from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and enjoying.
