Delicious Midnight chocolate Mousse for Date Night with intense chocolate flavor even without eggs and subtle sweetness. 
February is here meaning it is time for Valentine’s day and love is in the air. Do you have any plan for Valentine’s day, usually I cook some delicious dinner at home and enjoy with my hubby. We don’t go out as much, as my hubby can’t eat everything, he is diabetic. So, I made this Midnight chocolate mousse. This is simple and delicious recipe without any egg or refined sugar. Yes, made with nature’s sweetener’s dates and honey.
Still you won’t miss any creaminess from the eggs, as it has avocado and coconut milk, both will take care of creaminess department. Sweetness is from dates and honey. If you want your mousse to be extra sweet increase the amount of honey or dates.
I haven’t made chocolate mousse for long time because I don’t want too much eggy taste. Yes, I love eggs some not a fan of eggy smell and taste. So, when I saw this recipe, I decide to give it a try because it has my favorite coconut milk. I also wanted to use coconut extract which I had bought for making coconut cake. I was born and brought up in a place where coconut is abundant, we use it for everything. Starting from breakfast to dinner everything will have some coconut. So, I really miss that coconut smell here, even if it is a virgin coconut oil it doesn’t have the pungent coconut smell that I used to have it in my hometown coconut oil.
My grandma used to make fresh coconut oil from the dried coconut. Beauty of this recipe is it has intense chocolate flavor even without eggs and subtle sweetness. If you are looking for less carb recipe then give this one a try. You can play with your sweetener too.

That is such a great idea using nature's sweetener. I don't like overly sweet desserts but I do love creamy desserts such as this mousse. The espresso you use in the recipe I bet really enhances the chocolate flavor. What a great Valentine's Day dessert. Perfect for Hubby and me. We don't like to eat out either - we prefer a quiet evening at home.
