A Dark Chocolate Treat for Valentine’s Day: A No Sugar Added Chocolate Mousse
February 10, 2016 16 Comments
I thought it would be fun to play with dark chocolate to see what I could come up with.

This recipe calls for no sugar (and no artificial sweetener) though I will say that 70% chocolate has sugar added – and heavy cream has lactose – so this isn’t to say that the recipe isn’t sweet.
Before I made this recipe, I thought it would have a low points value for my WW readers – boy, was I wrong! I didn’t think about the saturated fat when I attempted this. On the other hand, for those trying to avoid sugar in desserts – this is a good choice.
I think next time I will cut this in half and serve ¼ cup over a big bowl of fresh strawberries – chocolate, cream, and strawberries – sounds yummy, no?
