Chocolate Mousse

We all need a sweet treat every now and then and if you’re like me, it tends to be something with chocolate more often than not! At least I know when I am eating this treat, it isn’t going to make me bloat up like a balloon like a serving of jello pudding would. It’s also free of all the nasties that come along with processed food. I use this recipe over and over again because it’s JUST SO GOOD! It would make a perfect spring time dessert like Easter! I served mine in mini cups as it is very rich, a little goes a loooooong way!

I topped mine with coconut cream, chocolate shavings and edible flowers. You could also top with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc. This would be fun to layer with cake or a grain free granola too! There are so many things you could do with this creamy delicious chocolate delight! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
