Easy & Healthy Chocolate Mousse

I’m sharing my Healthy Chocolate Mousse featuring BROOKSIDE Crunchy Clusters as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #DISCOVERBROOKSIDE

I love the idea of slaving over a complex recipe for hours with a glass of wine in one hand and classical music in the background but that’s just not my reality. More often than not, I’m rushing around at the last minute, trying to whip up a fun (and healthy!) dessert while my boys bounce off the wall acting like monkeys. If you can relate to my fun but crazy, you’re going to love that this Healthy Chocolate Mousse Recipe is done within minutes!

Ridiculously Easy

The secret to this recipe is refrigerating a can of coconut milk overnight. I usually keep one or two cans in there all the time just so I can have the hardened cream on hand for recipes like this. Once it’s been refrigerated long enough, the cream will separate from the coconut water and rise to the top. Just scoop it out and save the excess water for smoothies! Add the cocoa powder, honey, and coconut cream to bowl and mix until thickened. That’s it? Yup, that’s it. As my son would say, “easy peasy, lemon squeezy!”

Ready to Go

You can, of course, eat this recipe plain (I dare you to try and resist dipping your finger in for a taste or two straight out of the bowl!) or serve it with some extra yumminess. I made an Berry Easy Drizzle (hah, see what I did there?) with some defrosted berries in a blender with a little bit of maple syrup and then added a few BROOKSIDE Crunchy Clusters on top. The clusters’ blend of crispy multigrains, fruit-flavored centers and smooth dark chocolate were the perfect compliment to the rich mousse. I love having a little crunch to my dessert!
