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?!)
