night-time, the conversing is finished at last (and oh, the conversations of the heart…), and it’s quiet. shockingly so. i light candles, sip tea, pray for those who’ve been up late discussing matters of life and soul.
i pull out a good book and realize i need chocolate. the pages will somehow read easier, i’m sure, with a little treat. so determinedly dismissing several evil tempting baked goods for another time, i grab a can of coconut milk from the fridge and whip up this dairy free chocolate mousse.
there are several versions of this recipe on the web, not the least of which are the urban poser’s and chocolate covered katie’s. this one is a conglomeration, and it can be changed up with any extract. i think vanilla with fresh sliced strawberries on top would be perfection.
there. i’ve got a little late-night treat, the kitchen’s none the wearied, and i’m about to settle into my little corner of the couch. now if no one realizes mom’s got chocolate and they keep snoring…
