Mousse—a perfect ending to a delicious meal, yet so much more. Our mousse can stand alone as a decadent treat served anytime of day. It’s made from the creamiest soy in combination with dark chocolate and espresso for an added kick.
Chocolate know-how
When dealing with chocolate, its important to have all ingredients at room temperature. Otherwise, the melted chocolate, as it’s added, will seize up and your mousse will be “one hot mess.”
