    Quick Easy Chocolate Mousse

    A few weeks ago, I was invited to present at the Country Living Fair in Atlanta Georgia. My friend Stacey (from Little Figgy Food) and I collaborated and did a cooking demo "Easy Dinner Ideas for Stress Free Entertaining".

    We talked about some of our favorite recipes, like bacon wrapped apricots (the hit of every party), Roast Beef Cheat (a must have!), and these balsamic brussels sprouts.

    We decided for the dessert portion to blend one of her recipes and one of mine together to create a new one. And that's what you get today!

    So the chocolate mousse recipe originated here. Today I'm sharing it with my pumpkin whipped cream. I think this will make a perfect AND EASY PEASY addition to your Thanksgiving meal. Or... just because.

    Notes about Quick Easy Chocolate Mousse

    • There's only a few ingredients, so it really is quick to make
    • Needs a couple hours to set up, so plan accordingly
    • For the sweetener in the pumpkin whipped cream portion, you can substitute a stevia based sweetener if you'd like. I often use Truvia.
    • Check a conversion chart if you're not using the sugar
    • I recommend fresh pumpkin puree, but you can used canned as well.
    • A microplane zester works great for shaving some chocolate on top.
