125 ml chilled coconut cream or use the top of a can of full fat coconut milk

Method:
Place the coconut cream/milk in the fridge overnight. Soak dates in a bowl with water- enough to cover the dates completely.
When ready to make the mousse, drain the dates into a large bowl and combine all the other ingredients. Blend until smooth. Spoon the mousse into teacups or small ramekins. Place in the fridge overnight to set.
Use a pestle and mortal to bash the nuts of your choice (or throw into a blender). I used green pistachios nuts- their vibrant green colour looks fantastic against the dark chocolate.
