And, if you make this recipe a day ahead and refrigerate it, you will have a dark chocolate coconut mousse. It is All About the YUM!

Ingredients:
2- 13.5 oz cans organic coconut milk
1 tablespoon grated organic ginger
1 1/3 cups organic dark chocolate chips or 2 – 3.5 oz chocolate bars, at least 70%, broken into squares
2 teaspoons organic vanilla extract
1 pint fresh or frozen organic strawberries or raspberries

Directions:

Warm the coconut milk in a 2 quart saucepan over medium heat. Add ginger and chocolate. Stir occasionally to melt the chocolate. Add vanilla and berries. Simmer for 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if desired.
