Chocolate is undeniably a classic Valentine’s day treat and with it being just a few days away this recipe is an easy one to make for your loves as no baking is required! They will think you worked extremely hard when you present them with this luscious mousse although it is far from the truth. But I won’t tell anyone and neither should you, just smile and come back and tell me later how they liked it. 🙂

Combining chocolate, mint and cream cheese makes for an very decadent mousse that you and your love can enjoy together or keep it all to yourself! Of course if you’re not a mint fan that is an easy one to fix. Just leave it out!! Chocolate Cheesecake mousse is still spectacular or try it with orange extract for a citrus twist!

  I adapted this recipe from my Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse I brought you back in the fall. Since that was such a big hit with all of you, I knew I had to adapt it into a chocolate version for Valentine’s. I can’t decide which I like better, they both are sugar-free, low carb and delicious!

Low in carbs and sugar but higher in fat than many recipes, it is for Valentine’s after all. A little indulging is necessary!

Notes: You can most likely make this dairy free using coconut cream and coconut milk as I did for the Pumpkin Mousse version that I made dairy free.
