Raw Coconut Chocolate Mini Mousse

Mini mousses are my new favorite thing. Mini mice? Mini mousse? Either way, these are one of the tastiest things I’ve made in a while. That is truly saying something since I make like a gazillion baked goods every week.

This one isn’t quiiiiite as veggie filled as my usual recipes. HOWEVER, I did sneak in some dehydrated zucchini powder into the crust which, to be fair, is not an ingredient most people have lying around the house so apologies to those of you out there who feel deceived.

That being said, it is gluten-free, vegan, with no added sugar, so I don’t feel so badly about the lack of veggies. A generous dose of chia seeds also gives it a boost of fiber and omegas – just more reasons to feel good about eating this dessert!

These are so insanely delicious, the mousse just melts inside your mouth. Coconut oil does a beautiful thing when creating a vegan mousse.
