Mousse Cake
This delightfully different mousse cake has been shared with us by Bianca from Wholefood Simply. It’s a perfect Christmas indulgence, because it tastes like an indulgence without being over the top. The other great thing about this recipe for Christmas, is that you can prepare it ahead of time! No rushing around on the day! The chia seeds have a texture like chia pudding. If that's not your thing, try grinding the chia seeds first!
