- Combine all the ingredients, including the melted chocolate in a mixer until well blended.
- Scoop the mousse into 4-6 serving bowls and allow to thicken in the refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
- For fun, garnish with mint leaves, raspberries, dark chocolate chips, a dusting of cacao powder, or a sprinkle of coconut shreds.
