Hello! I trust you and your loved ones are having a wonderful and safe Fourth of July. I am making this a brief post and leaving you guys with a recipe I tested today - the most decadent chocolate mousse. It's light and airy, with a robust chocolate flavor that is sure to please all chocolate lovers. If it's too rich for you, add a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and top with milk chocolate shavings and enjoy!
