Healthy 4 Ingredient Mocha Mousse

Melissa King 12 Comments

You have got to try this Healthy 4 Ingredient Mocha Mousse!  It only take s a few minutes to whip up!  This would be the perfect dessert if you were short on time.  It’s super rich and satisfying too!

I got the recipe idea from a similar recipe I saw on Sugar Free Mom.  Her recipe called for dairy, and this is my dairy free version.  I think it came out really good.  And really, who doesn’t like chocolate and coffee together?

This healthy mousse recipe is vegan, gluten free and paleo approved.  There is zero refined sugar.  I topped mine with some dark chocolate chips, but that is totally optional.

Hazelnuts would also be delicious.  It’s great on it’s own as well. It would also make some pretty delicious frosting for cake or cupcakes!

I work out a couple hours almost every morning, so I need a satisfying breakfast that can carry me through that workout.  One of my favorite breakfasts is overnight oats.  They are easy and require no cooking at all.  This new Chocolate Protein Overnight Oats makes the perfect pre-workout meal. For more overnight oats ideas, check out this post.

The thing that makes this recipe high protein is the REBBL Dark Chocolate Protein coconut milk elixir.  The protein component comes from all natural ingredients like peas, sunflower seeds and pumpkin.  I LOVE that. Most protein drinks on the market have many undesirable ingredients + they use soy as the protein source.  REBBL drinks are soy free, dairy free, vegan and gluten free!

Tonight I am going to a dinner party, and I was asked to bring a pumpkin dessert.  That is how this pumpkin chocolate mousse pie came about.  It’s got a chocolate pecan crust, a rich pumpkin mousse for the filling, and a chocolate drizzle on top.  So yum!!

You can tell by the picture that I may have gone a little crazy with the chocolate.  I’m sure the guests won’t complain!

This healthy pie may look fancy, but it’s super simple to whip up!  There is actually no baking required.  You can make it ahead of time and pull it out when you are ready to eat.  It happens to be vegan, gluten free AND paleo approved!

This pie would be a great dessert for Thanksgiving as well.  It’s a great alternative to traditional pumpkin pie and great for chocolate lovers! Since there is no baking required, making this leaves the oven free to cook all those yummy Thanksgiving eats. I hope you enjoy it!

Copycat Chocolate Macaroon Larabar Bites.  Have you seen the new Larabar Bites? I made you some Copycat Chocolate Macaroon Larabars!

They are meant to be dessert truffles instead of snacks like the original Larabars.  These Copycat Chocolate Larabar bites are so much cheaper to make yourself.
