Decadent Chocolate Mousse With Cream and Strawberries
Chocolate mousse is such a versatile dessert, you can use it to ice cakes and cupcakes, layer puddings or even enjoy it on its own. What makes this chocolate mousse sugar-free is the replacement of regular milk chocolate with a minimum of 70% dark chocolate and replacing castor sugar with xylitol.
These are the two main ingredients for providing the heavenly chocolate flavour and sweetness you want in a chocolate mousse, respectively:
- Dark chocolate is a great source of antioxidants making this chocolate surprisingly good for you.
- Xylitol too, has health properties, such as having a low GI and it’s naturally good for your teeth.
