This decadent, allergen-free dessert is so good that you won't believe how healthy it is! It successfully removes the egg, dairy, and flour from a classic custard, and in doing so makes it extremely easy to make a tasty dessert. Chia seeds, which swell up and form a gel that thickens the mousse, are the main ingredient. Not only are they providing the texture in this dish, they also pack a healthy punch: loads of fiber and omega 3s reside in the little seeds.
Options:
- Substitute vanilla almond milk with unsweetened almond milk.
- Add 1/4 cup coconut cream.
- Add more sweetener, to taste: honey, agave, or maple syrup.
