Easy Chocolate Mousse Recipe {from France!}

Learn how to make easy chocolate mousse the French way! Rich chocolate and eggs whipped together to make a dreamy and airy mousse, topped with fresh berries and homemade caramel sauce.

It’s no secret France pretty much dominates the dessert and baking world. I’m loving all the sweets and baked goods Paris has to offer! This recipe is not a typical one for the Mindful Avocado because I typically do not cook or bake with eggs.

However, this recipe is extra special because I made it in France with this adorable family I met. They have two daughters and they were just as excited as I was to make a recipe and take photos for my blog.

We decided on chocolate mousse because it is a French classic, and it’s chocolate! (who doesn’t love chocolate?!)

This easy chocolate mousse recipe is as simple as it gets! Literally only two ingredients – chocolate and eggs! The topping combinations are endless. We used fresh berries and I showed the girls how to make a homemade caramel sauce.

Peanut Butter Mocha Energy Balls (Vegan)

What better ingredient for energy bites than a little dose of caffeine? These no-bake energy balls are the perfect bite-sized snack! Loaded with peanut butter, dates, coffee, chocolate, and dusted with cocoa powder, these are perfect for pre and post workout or just a snack on to go!

Energy bites, protein balls, energy balls, whatever you wanna call em, they have achieved major popularity in the healthy food world. They are packed with healthy ingredients all in a perfect portion.

I made some coconut lime energy bites awhile back and I honestly cannot believe it took me this long to test out a chocolate coffee version. Well probably not the best-suited recipe for children (they have too much energy as is), you can omit coffee to make them kid-friendly. Chocolate peanut butter energy balls are still delicious and definitely a kid-approved flavor combo.

I, however, am I huge coffee fan and coffee flavor foods are no exception. The coffee stays for me and I love these mocha energy bites! Let’s get you to love them too.

This flavor trifecta is simply perfection and what better way to get your snacking on than with these granola bars. This recipe THE best and I can get enough of ’em. When the hunger gets real, sometimes you just need a little indulgent snack to hold you over. Instead of grabbing a store-bought, processed snack, these plant based granola bars are made with real ingredients and are easy to make ahead and keep on hand. I also love that they are packed with protein, carbs, and natural fats to keep you full and healthy.
