    What Is Mousse?

    Mousse is a sweet treat that has a light and airy texture. It's similar to a custard or Jello pudding, but uses air bubbles to make it lighter than either of them.

    Some mousse recipes are thick and creamy, and others are really light with lots of air bubbles. Mine is perfectly creamy, almost like a light custard.

    Why You'll Love This Healthy Dark Chocolate Mousse Recipe

    I don't really have that much of a sweet tooth left, after over a decade of following a low carb lifestyle - off and on. But oh, how I love my chocolate! Especially dark chocolate!

    This Dark Chocolate Mousse is sweet, but not overly sweet, and has that rich, dark chocolate flavor that I absolutely love!
