Dairy free chocolate mousse - struggling!!

[Pennies]

I need to make a large chocolate mousse for a party but it has to be dairy free. I'm not used to working with silken tofu and a lot of the recipes I can find seem to have either silken tofu or double cream in, or avocado (bleugh on a big scale). I want to make a bubbly mousse not a smooth one.

So, I found this recipes here which fits the bill but it looks really, really rich. How could I make it less rich or what are my other dairy free options. Can I substitute double cream for soya cream?

Proper French style chocolate mousse has no dairy (but does contain raw egg).

Mrs Beeton's recipe is the only one I use.

You absolutely don't need cream or cream substitutes in chocolate mousse.

Serves 4

4 eggs
4 oz plain chocolate

Melt the chocolate with 1 tbs water/coffee/alcohol of your choice over a pan of hot water and cool a little.

Separate the eggs and beat the yolks. Add the yolks into the melted chocolate.

Whip the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the chocolate until perfectly blended.

Turn into 4 individual serving dishes or one large dish and leave in a cool place, preferably not the fridge as it could separate.

This IMO is the simplest and best chocolate mousse. I use Bournville chocolate because it has lower cocoa solids and doesn't need any sugar adding to the mixture.

If anyone misses cream you could serve it as an accompaniment.

If nuts are ok I found this one in a magazine called from Christmas.

If you can't see the photo I can email it to you if you want to pm me

Mouse shouldn't need cream - egg whites and chocolate only.
