Begin by opening the can of chilled full-fat coconut milk and carefully scooping out the solid cream into a mixing bowl, ensuring to leave behind the liquid portion for another use. The chilled coconut cream will provide the rich and creamy base for our chocolate mousse.
2. Melting the Chocolate:

3. Creating the Mousse Base:
