CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
Easy 3-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse – light, airy, smooth and whips up in less than 5 minutes. A great chocolate lovers dessert perfect for any night of the week!
Chocolate mousse intimidated me but with this easy 3-ingredient chocolate mousse recipe, anyone can make it. That (and the delicious chocolate flavor) is why I love this recipe so much.
It’s light, airy, chocolate-y, sweet and, most definitely, quick and easy! We love to eat it just like this or use it for a light chocolate mousse frosting on cakes and cupcakes. We even like to use it as a dip for fruit (strawberries are our favorite).
This is a treat everyone will like unless you don’t like chocolate, which would be crazy!
