Healthy Vegan Raspberry Mousse (a Perfect Summer Dessert)

During these hot summer days all you need is a light and refreshing dessert! Once such recipe is this unbelievably good vegan raspberry mousse that will win you over!

What I enjoy most about this mousse is its light fluffy texture and refreshing taste that brings you a taste of summer. It is super airy and fruity, so if you would like to switch from the original chocolate mousse and make a lighter option, you should try this one!

Instead of using eggs and heavy cream, make it a vegan version which is a lot healthier and you can eat it guilt-free even if you are on a diet!

Instructions

  • Divide the mixture into three glasses, Refrigerate the glasses for at least 3 hours before serving.
