PREPARATION TIME:
30-45 minutes

INGREDIENTS:
Strawberry Compote
500g Strawberries (reserve 6 strawberries for decoration)
½ Cup sugar
½ Lemon or grapefruit juiced
1 Tablespoon chia seeds (optional, but will thicken the compote nicely and add nutrients)

Chocolate Mousse
1 Tub (300g) of Earth Source Foods Silken Tofu
7 Tablespoons coconut oil (liquid/melted)
5 Tablespoons raw cacao or cocoa powder
3 Tablespoons coconut sugar
3 Tablespoons raw sugar
1 or 2 Tablespoons brandy or other preferred liquor
¼ Teaspoon cinnamon
1 Teaspoon vanilla essence
⅛ Teaspoon salt

METHOD:
Hull strawberries, place in a saucepan with sugar, citrus juice and chia seeds. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes or longer, stirring frequently until quite reduced and jammy. Set aside to cool. Any leftovers can be used as a spread on toast or on cereal etc.

To make the chocolate mousse, whizz together all ingredients except tofu, until really well combined. Then add the drained silken tofu and whizz again until the mixture is super smooth. Test to make sure it is delicious – add more sugar if desired.

TO SERVE:
Spoon chocolate mousse mixture into 6 individual glass bowls or nice glasswear. Then top with cooled strawberry compote, and decorate with a fresh strawberry. Keep refrigerated to fully set for at least an hour and until ready to serve. If you have any, add a drizzle of coconut cream as a final touch!
