When I made this mousse for my family,no one believed it was actually sugar free and high protein (let alonevegan).

My dad said, “There’s no way this is low calorie” *spoons mousse into mouth*

I told him it was. “No, it is, the whole bowl has 180 calories and 25g of protein!”

Dad: Wow, it tastes like it’d be really fatty! *scrapes bowl clean* That was really good… Is there any more left?

He asked for another bowl later that day. And he had some for breakfast the next day too. Oh, and did I mention that my dad doesn’t even like sweets? So ifhe likes it,you will too!
