  • Servings: 1 bowl

  • Prep time: 5 minutes

  • Total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 can of coconut milk or cream (refrigerated)

  • ¼ cup of cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp of sweetener of choice (more to taste)

  • 1 tbsp of Sacred 7 Mushroom Powder

Instructions

  1. Take the solid cream from the coconut milk can and add to a small mixing bowl with the cocoa power, sweetener of choice, and Sacred 7 Mushroom Powder.

  2. Mix with an electric mixer until the mousse is smooth and reaches a whipped texture. Taste test here to decide if you want to adjust the sweeteners or add any additional mix-ins.

  3. Place the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes or longer. It’ll thicken into a mousse-like texture. Scoop and serve!

Recipe Substitutions

  • Swap in refrigerated cream for coconut milk if you prefer dairy.

  • Choose your sweetener of choice! I’ve been hooked on date syrup lately because it reminds me of pancakes. I cannot explain it.

  • Add-ins are the best part of this! Sometimes I toss in dark chocolate chips, add a touch of vanilla extract, and a dash of sea salt on top.

  • Our chocolate mushroom mousse recipe is surprisingly forgiving and flexible. Swirl cream cheese or peanut butter throughout, top with whipped cream and white chocolate syrup, or go crunchy with cashews or pistachios.

The Health Benefits of Medicinal Mushrooms

Mushrooms and cacao have shared a long, holy partnership in spiritual and traditional medicine in South America. In indigenous tribes, cacao was seen as a “teacher plant,” much like mushrooms, and the two were sometimes combined into a single drink to experience the godlike qualities of each.

While Sacred 7 Mushroom Powder is not psychedelic, the power of medicinal mushrooms and chocolate have been explored since time immemorial.

Chaga mushrooms

Maitake mushrooms

Reishi mushrooms

Research links Reishi mushrooms to white blood cell production, which helps fight infection. In addition to immune function and cognitive performance, Reishi mushrooms support gut health. A 2017 study even found evidence that Reishi suppresses breast cancer cell growth.

Shiitake mushrooms

Shiitake is one of the best mushrooms attributed to longevity through research. Like Reishi, it boosts white blood cell production and high-quality immune function. Similar to Maitake, Shiitake mushrooms support healthy blood glucose levels. It's also high in Vitamin D2, copper, and anti-inflammatory properties.
