About

When it comes to no-bake desserts, chocolate mousse is one of our favorites. It’s rich, flavorful, and can be made in advance. The texture of a mousse varies depending on the preparation. Some are thick and creamy, but ours is light and fluffy, thanks to the whipped egg whites and cream, which incorporate a lot of air into the chocolate base. You can eat it straight up, but we love the combination of raspberries and chocolate, and the light sprinkle of flake salt balances the flavors beauti
