Easy Chocolate Mousse

This recipe for Easy Chocolate Mousse is equally delicious and versatile. Eat it on it’s own, or layer it in a trifle or cake…it’s a creamy no bake mousse that you will love! So today I am posting a recipe that I have been on the search of for AGES! Chocolate Mousse! I have made Chocolate Mousse before…but have never really found a recipe that I liked.  I tried to develop my own a few years back which ended in spoon throwing and tears. Nope, not dramatic at all. Anyhow, when I received a copy of my friend Glory’s new book, Glorious Layered Desserts, I KNEW I had to try her recipe for Chocolate Mousse…and I will tell you it is perfect!
