This is a simple healthy eating recipe for a super tasty chocolate dessert.
We love recipes like this, where you just need to mix everything in a bowl! We also love that you can still enjoy decadent tasting desserts when you are trying to losing weight after pregnancy.
This mousse is a hit with adults and kids. Why not pop some into some little plastic cups to serve to the kids for a yummy and healthy treat too.
If you prefer a super smooth consistency, leave out the chia seeds.
And unlike regular mousse which uses raw egg, this mousse is perfectly fine to enjoy if you are pregnant.
