Creamy Vegan Chocolate Mousse
The truth is, I only think this makes 4 servings. "Think" being the operative word here.
​
I can't know for sure, because I (very graphically) took down a fair bit of it shortly after this photo was taken. And again when I went to scoop the rest from the food processor. And again when I packaged it into tupperware. And again, when I pulled it from the fridge when my husband got home, giddy to show off my latest creation.
I guess in my mind, something so delicious yet so incredibly health-promoting, protein-rich and satiating seems entirely too good to be true. It's like I just have to keep trying it to make sure its still creamy and glorious - and not just some gross concoction I've convinced myself to tolerate.
Let me assure you, friends. Creamy and glorious it is.
All 4, likely 3, potentially 5 servings.
