Materials

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

  • 2 cups cocoa powder pure Dutch unsweetened

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg ground

Instructions

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

  • In a large stainless steel bowl, pour cocoa powder and Splenda. Mix well.

Notes

Chef’s Note:
To dress up your mousse for festive occasions, use parfait or martini glasses.
In the bottom of each glass, place a few berries. Then add the mousse. Chill.
Serve topped with a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt or fat-free sour cream.
