Posted by A quick, easy chocolate mousse that will please everyone. Great for potlucks and layered deserts! I recommend chilling for about half an hour to firm and give a nice chill, but this can be eaten right after making. Feel free to adjust the amount of chocolate you use. This is a great recipe if you need a chocolate layer for deserts.
Ingredients:
Decrease Serving 2 Original recipe yields 2 servings

Cook’s Notes:
You can pulse granular sweetener in a blender or food processor to achieve a powdered consistency. Use different flavored extracts for variety.
