Here is a recipe that honestly could change the mind of anybody who claims to not be a dessert person! A delicious creamy, not too sweet, mousse that is absolutely delicious and extremely easy to make.
It may look very fancy and perhaps a bit intimidating in these pictures, but that is because this was served to our Tanda Tula guests for dinner and Chef Ryan wanted to show off a bit! So, although it looks amazing here, it tastes just as delicious served in individual glass dishes.
The only thing you need to remember is that it is best made the day ahead and refrigerated overnight, so make sure you plan for this dessert. Enjoy.
