Mexican Chocolate Mousse-
I created this recipe a while back but am just FINISHING it. LIFE HAS BEEN BUSY LATELY!
This recipe is a simple one. With few ingredients and mostly ones you have around the house… except maybe for the THM Gentle Sweet & maybe the Mexican Vanilla.
I love Mexican Vanilla! Seriously! It gives such a warm almost cinnamony flavor to whatever it is added to.
THM GENTLE SWEET IS MY FAVORITE SWEETENER!!! You can purchase through my affiliate link here: THM GENTLE SWEET
I use Danncy’s Mexican Vanilla that I buy through Amazon. Here is my affiliate link to Amazon if you would like to purchase or a few other goodies…
This is my husband’s absolute favorite dessert right now. The cool thing is it’s totally on plan and I don’t have to feel guilty about making this for him.
No sugar or any other yucky stuff in it. And if you are a Trim Healthy Mama or on a Low Carb Diet this will work for you! It’s a THM S!
ENJOY!!!
