About
If you’re looking for a simple, quick and healthy dessert that’s packed full of flavour then you’ve come to the right place. These little mousse pots taste divine. They’re gluten free, dairy free, vegan and vegetarian too and take less than 15 minutes to make.
We like to make these when we have people over for dinner as they can be made in advance and kept in the fridge until serving time.
Hope you enjoy them!
