This is the greatest temptation that I could face myself. Since I am a chocolate lover, is hard for me to feel satisfied with just one pot. It’s so delicious, that I always want more…oh sorry, not just delicious, but also beautiful. Look at that treat!

Since I had raspberry at home, I included it in the recipe, and let me tell you, that was the best decision. You’ll have a mixture of chocolate and raspberry, which will give you a terrific flavor and creamy texture.

No need to bake and no need to stand in your kitchen for hours. Easy and quick to make with just a few ingredients. You need a little time – around 30 minutes – of resting in the refrigerator before serving, but the result will prove that it’s worth the time.

Why You’ll Love It

  • May sound difficult with that French name, but don’t let that fool you. Chocolate Raspberry Mousse is one of the easiest to make.
  • No oven is needed. Just a hand mixer.
  • You don’t have chocolate at home? No problem. For this recipe, I use cocoa powder which is the best option for you since is inexpensive and rich in flavor.
  • Competing with fine restaurants!
