Vegan Chocolate Mousse with Hazelnuts

Craving something sweet? Indulge with a healthy vegan chocolate mousse from in-house Chef-in-Residence of Parsley Center NYC Carolina Santos-Neves .

Chocolate mousse is known for being rich and decadent, but with two of the main ingredients being heavy cream and sugar, it has little to offer nutritionally. Our good-for-you vegan chocolate mousse has all the flavor and the same texture as traditional chocolate mousse, but it’s packed with protein and vitamins.

How? We used our not-so-secret ingredient, Parsley Health’s Rebuild Clean Chocolate Protein . Rebuild contains a complete multivitamin, including a full set of B vitamins, important trace minerals like zinc, selenium, and manganese, and ingredients that support balanced detoxification and gastrointestinal function. It’s also sugar free, dairy free, gluten free, and soy free.

“When added with our in-house coconut yogurt, it makes for the most luscious and satisfying sweet,” says Santos Neves, who created this mouth-watering recipe. Here’s everything you need to satisfy your next sweet craving.
