One of my all time favorite desserts was and still is chocolate mousse. I would dream about the light fluffy texture and the rich and velvety chocolate taste. If you top it off with rapsberries or strawberries it transforms into one of the ultimate gourmet desserts! I have found a way to make this decadent dessert dairy, egg, nut and gluten free. I can make this up to two days in advance and place it in my refrigerator to pull out whenever dessert is served.
We had dinner with friends and they had make your own sundae fixings for dessert. Well when I pulled out my chocolate mousse all spoons stopped mid air! Everyone including all the kids ate my entire batch of chocolate mousse and I happily whipped up another batch. It felt so good to see the longing in the eyes of my friends for my dairy free, egg free, nut free, gluten free decadent dessert.
I have written the recipe below. You may want to make a double batch if you are having guests over. Also, try and place some in little mini tupperware container and then pack in a lunch bag with an ice pack and send them in with your child for a special treat. It can feel good to be the envy of the lunch table !
