I know you all love chocolate mousse, and I am certainly never one to downplay the taste of chocolate. But this is another light mousse..light and airy, tasting of summer to come. Put a few ladyfingers in a martini glass, put this mousse in the middle, top it with whipped cream and you have a wonderful fancy dessert....how about for Mother's day?
