Chocolate Cherry Mousse
Chocolate Cherry Mousse
This is one of the yummy desserts in our My Busy Healthy Life & Wonderfully Well cleanse! It is quick and easy to make, stores well in the freezer and really satisfies the chocolate cravings! I like to put it in the little plastic cups you get your salad dressing in at a salad bar, you can get them at GFS or Costco. I fill up those little cups with mousse and freeze them, then when I need a chocolate treat, it's ready and waiting, a wonderfully healthy chocolate treat that tastes like a fudgesicle.

Notes
First taste the mixture and decide how much sweeter it needs to be. Add honey and stevia in increments, remember, Stevia makes everything 100 times sweeter. Add 2 Tablespoons of honey and 3-4 drops Stevia, taste, continue alternating until it is the sweetness you like.
You may need to add a little more salt to taste as well.
Put in dessert cups, alternate with Coconut Crème Fraiche; if you like you can layer bananas and fruit in between or just put in a dessert cup or in a pie shell, top with slivered almonds, even put some almond butter on the bottom. Do it your way! Refrigerate one hour before serving. Will keep 3 days in fridge. Can be frozen, allow to set 10 minutes if frozen before serving. ** For individual servings, put into small dessert cups with lids, have one a day for several days!
