• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the mango layer:
• 1 small ripe mango (about 1/2 cup cubed)

Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the chocolate layer:

2. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until thickened.
Step 2: Make the mango layer:
1. Meanwhile, prepare the mango layer by pureeing the cubed mango in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the mousse:
1. Scoop out two tablespoons of the chilled chocolate layer and place it at the bottom of your serving glasses.
2. Top each serving with about 1 tablespoon of the mango puree.
3. Carefully pour the remaining chocolate layer over the top of the mango layer.
Step 4: Garnish and serve:

Note: The consistency of this vegan mousse may be slightly different from traditional ones as it does not use eggs. However, we find that the texture adds to its charm and uniqueness. If you prefer a smoother consistency, simply blend the layers together before refrigerating.
