Chocolate Mousse, without Lactose

I've got a friend who's lactose intolerant, so I've been trying to come up with rich-tasting, French style desserts...

The easiest thing I've made so far is a coconut milk chocolate mousse.

You'll need:
1 can coconut milk (Thai brand is pretty good)
1 tablespoon pure cocoa (no powdered milk or sugar added)
2 tablespoons white sugar

Take a can of coconut milk, unshaken and open. There should be a creamy layer on the top of the unmixed milk. Scoop the majority of it off into a bowl (you'll get a little over a cup of coconut cream).

Next mix the cocoa and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the contents over the bowl of coconut cream and stir the contents well.

It can be served right away.

If you put the contents in the fridge, it will become more solid, but you can serve a dollop of this simple dessert with fresh strawberries in a small martini glass or on a plate, right away. The thickened mixture can be used like an icing. If you want to refridgerate it but want a looser texture, you can add a little of the coconut milk remaining in the can.

It doesn't take long to make, and it's very tasty and creamy! Most people won't know it's made with coconut milk.
