Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Made with just two wholesome ingredients

• Naturally sweetened with fruit

• No refined sugars or flours

• Super simple and no-bake

• Vegan, paleo, and allergy-friendly

Ingredients

• 1 (15 oz) can organic peach slices, strained (about 1 ¾ cups)
  (You can substitute with canned pear slices, but I find peaches give the best flavor.)

• 9 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate, melted (about 1 ½ cups chopped)
  (Use dairy-free and refined sugar-free chocolate for the healthiest option.)

Instructions

1. Melt the Chocolate
   Start by gently melting the chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between each interval. Once fully melted and smooth, set it aside to cool slightly.

2. Blend with Fruit
   Add the strained peach (or pear) slices and melted chocolate to a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. The longer you blend, the more mousse-like the texture becomes.

1. Pour and Set
   Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour the mousse mixture into the pan and spread it evenly. Optional: sprinkle with chopped chocolate or a pinch of flaky sea salt for a gourmet touch.

1. Chill
   Place the loaf pan in the refrigerator for at least a few hours or overnight until fully set and firm to the touch.

2. Serve and Enjoy
   Once hardened, remove from the fridge, slice into thick, rich pieces, and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Recipe Notes & Tips

• Fresh Fruit Option: You can try using poached or stewed fresh peaches or pears, though the canned variety adds convenience and consistent texture.

• Texture Tip: For the smoothest mousse, make sure your chocolate is fully melted and your blender is powerful enough to fully puree the fruit.

• Make It Fancy: Serve with a dollop of coconut whipped cream or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for added crunch.

This simple recipe proves that dessert doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious. Whether you’re making it for a special occasion or just to satisfy a mid-week craving, this 2-ingredient chocolate mousse cake will not disappoint.
