Eggless Chocolate Mousse

Desserts are usually the saddest complaint I hear from vegan, dairy-free, or gluten-free friends. They crave eggless dessert recipes, tricks, and swaps for ingredients that can give them delicious treats that meet their dietary restrictions. Eggless baking can get you cookies, cake, cupcakes, or brownies are ok, but I think this chocolate mousse takes the cake!

Secret Ingredient

This easy chocolate mousse is so quick to make, it doesn’t call for raw eggs, and it doesn’t have to chill for hours to set. The secret ingredient in this mousse – marshmallows. I adapted this recipe heavily from Nigella Lawson and it is totally genius! No one even notices the marshmallows in it, not that they are a bad thing but definitely not the first thing you’d want to pick up on in a chocolate mousse. I love making mousse from scratch, but sometimes the shortcuts are a better choice! Mostly they just offer a light and fluffy texture and simple, sweet flavor and they leave plenty of room for the chocolate flavor to shine. Plus, they are what makes this mousse quick to set. This mousse is going to be my go-to chocolate mousse recipe from now on! It has the perfect amount of chocolaty richness, its texture is fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and it’s just divinely decadent. You’ll want to lick the bowl! Well worth the splurge on occasion! My sister who isn’t even much of a chocolate fan couldn’t put it down, and my mom, a chocolate fanatic fully approved. Mission accomplished.
