How to Make Holiday Peppermint Chocolate Mousse
Sure, there’s the extra peppermint flavor and peppermint candy on top, but if you don’t like peppermint, this easy chocolate mousse recipe is equally delicious. And it’s even easier to make. We understand not everyone likes to eat peppermint, so we’ve tested the recipe without the peppermint extract and it’s jus as delicious.
Instead of candy canes, you can sprinkle other toppings like fresh fruit, sprinkles or anything you want. But seriously, even without all the fuss of sprinkles, this creamy chocolate mousse is great on it’s own. You don’t have to make it fancy, just make it! It’s truly super easy, you’ll be blown away at how easy and creamy this dessert can be.
