Making Quick Delicious Mousse at Home
I love making simple, fast treats that fully satisfy a sweet tooth, but they are still healthy and enjoyable. Making raw healthy deserts is my passion, and this quick chia seed-chocolate mousse provide a great energy boost when I need it the most. Chia seeds have a wide range of benefits, from fighting depression, to improving sleep, to reducing the risk of heart disease. You can also chill your mousse and store it in your fridge for later.

About this Recipe
By: Dr.Dusana Plechlo
I often use just water in this recipe, but feel free to use a choise of milk for added taste. However, even with water, this mousse is a tasty treat, I guarantee that your sweet craving taste will be satisfied every time. Chia seeds, which are native to Central America, have long been touted as a superfood. But those little seeds can be made into pudding, blended into smoothies or oatmeal, and even baked into bread! Not only are they versatile, but they’re chock full of health.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cup milk (coconut, almond) or water
- ½ cup organic chia seeds
- 6 tablespoons (TBS) of organic cacao powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2-3 TBS of honey or other healthy sweetener to taste (such as agave syrup or pure maple syrup)
