When Catherine McCord, an expert in providing kid-friendly meals that are sure to please everyone (young and old) and founder of the site Weelicious, says everyone goes wild over a recipe, you know you have to try it.
"Everyone goes gaga in my house for this chocolate mousse recipe. So much so, I guarantee that if I made it 365 days a year, my kids would never get sick of it. Made with semi-sweet chocolate chips, organic whipped cream and a touch of cinnamon (which gives it the flavor of good Mexican chocolate), not only is this chocolate mousse creamy, light and totally decadent, it's one of the easiest desserts I've ever made," she says.
Bonus: McCord's recipe is egg free, nut free, and gluten free so everyone in your household can enjoy this decadent dessert.
