Look, if you’ve ever dreamed of dessert that tastes like a spa day wrapped in a coffee hug—congrats, you’ve found it.
This sweet potato mocha mousse is creamy, chocolatey, a little bold, and totally plant-based—like your best friend after one therapy session.
It balances earthy sweetness and a caffeine kick without trying too hard, unlike your ex who suddenly does yoga.
It’s rich enough for PMS, smooth enough for brunch, and easy enough for weeknights when you pretend cooking counts as self-care.
Also? No one needs to know it’s vegan unless you’re bragging—because yes, queen, you made mousse with a tuber.

💁♀️ Extra Tips & Notes
- Use espresso for a stronger mocha punch (or decaf if chaos isn’t your vibe).
- Add a spoonful of nut butter for extra richness—peanut butter turns it into magic.
- Want it fluffier? Whip in chilled aquafaba for mousse that could levitate.
- Keep it classy in wine glasses or make it casual in a mug.
- Store in the fridge, but honestly, good luck not eating it all at once.
