Sweet Treat | Raw Cacao Mousse

This is one of my go-to sweet treats for (healthily) satisfying sugar cravings. Smooth, creamy and super-chocolatey, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between this and a sugar-laden alternative.

And the best part?
It can be whipped up in 5 minutes flat and served straight away.
