Homemade Coconut Milk and Coconut cream with strawberries and rhubarb (no sugar, dairy free, paleo)

I think everyone that is familiar with this blog knows that I have the biggest sweet tooth. And I am going to guess that most people’s first experience in the kitchen is around a sweet recipe. Who here has never helped their mum or grandma growing up by separating eggs or greasing a cake tin? Back home from the moment I was able to use the oven unsupervised I would religiously make a chocolate cake every Saturday, always the same recipe. The only changeable factor was that I would sometimes make marbled cake rather than a chocolate one. With time I grew in confidence and started to experiment with tarts, pies and mousses, but in my early stages of cooking I mostly made sweet recipes. Savoury and mains is a side of cooking that started much later for me. So does that prove my point that I am just a little bit partial to dessert? I am in the middle of a hard core paleo diet and there are a lot of restrictions around sweets which is not always fun but it does motivate me to cook recipes that are healthy and still appease my sweet tooth.

Perfect monochromatic balance

I had to feed seven people last weekend with only a few hours notice. Had a whole chicken to roast with all the trimmings and with no time to go out and shop I had to devise a dessert from my cupboard items alone. I felt like I was on Masterchef. Knowing I had some chocolate in the cupboard I decided to leaf through my trusty Green and Black’s chocolate recipe book for the recipe with the least ingredients. The answer was mousse. Now, I am not a fan of mousse, any type of mousse, not even chocolate, I find them……boring. But, like I said, time was a-ticking and with a heavy main I reasoned it would add a fluffy, light end to the meal. Plus it is one of the least costly desserts you can make. I am not a snob when it comes to ingredients but as this recipe calls for so few I would advise using good quality chocolate, I used Lindt 70 to 80% cocoa solids. Marbled Mousse (serves 6) 125g dark chocolate, finely chopped 125g white chocolate, finely chopped 5 eggs 75g caster sugar 400ml double cream 1.Melt both chocolates in separate bowls and set
