Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder and dark chocolate for a deeper chocolate flavor and best results.
  • Chia seeds not only add texture but also boost the nutritional profile with fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
  • You can substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
  • If you prefer a sweeter mousse, adjust the amount of syrup to taste before blending.
  • Serve chilled for best texture and flavor experience.
