oooohhhh myyyyyy goossshhhhh. THIS.MOUSSE. I recently (finally) tried soaking cashews to make my own cashew milk, and after I did, I’m newly obsessed with soaking them to invent all sorts of things. This afternoon, I was on my way to making more milk, when I decided I NEEDED chocolate right meow – so my idea took a turn. I opened my pantry, spotted a few ingredients, then opened my fridge, and a lightbulb went off…..chocolate.mousse. boom. CLEAN. Chocolate mouse….oh yes, you heard me right!
