Decadent dairy-free Chocolate Mousse
fluffy, velvety smooth and oh, so chocolaty.
Well, I don’t really know what to say about this chocolate mousse. Other than when I started making it, it was so simple that I thought I would have to do at least 2 or 3 re-do’s to get it right. I bought 3 cartons and figured I’d wing it… Well you guys - sometimes keeping things simple is the best. It is SO good and I was SO excite,d that I called my mom, who, like me, loves chocolate mousse, and also like me, has a lot of the same food sensitivities. My husband even loves it, so I know I’ve done something right. Ima already thinking of all the things I could do with it… Chocolate silk pie, chocolate mint, as an ice cream base….
This Mousse is made with two - yes, two - ingredients, does NOT taste like coconut (like soooo many dairy-free chocolate flavoured things out there), stays fluffy and smooth even after being refrigerated for a day, is the perfect amount of sweet, and will change your dairy-free life. Also thanks to Lily’s chocolate…. it has no artificial, added or refined sugar. Yes, you heard me right. Instead, its sweetened botanically with stevia - without the stevia aftertaste.
BIG WIN.
Now, I could tell you some nutrition information for these ingredients, or I could just get to the recipe already - so, without further ado….
