This is my go to recipe when my family wants a chocolate dessert and they want it now. All of the ingredients are blended in the food processor for easy clean up. This chocolate mousse is light and creamy with a dark chocolate flavor. The mousse can be enjoyed warm or chilled, making it a wonderful dessert for winter and summer alike.
Full of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, this mousse can be enjoyed for dessert, breakfast, or a snack.
