Twenties & Turmoil

Hi.

Don’t go through turmoil alone. Click, explore, stay a while. I'll cook with you, read with you, vent with you and laugh with you. Hello, new friend.

Real Food Cacao Coconut Mousse Cups

Real Food Cacao Coconut Mousse Cups

No mousse were harmed in the making of this dessert.

Figured I’d throw that out there. But what was harmed was my ability to refrain from sweets at night. Good thing these bad boys are made with REAL food. No, seriously. They’re made with Real Food Bars. The cacao sea salt flavor to be exact. It’s amazing what a bar can become. It’s not just your on-the-go fuel. It can be toppings on a smoothie bowl, a vessel for some peanut butter, or—in this case—the crust of a mousse cup.

Real Food Bars are here to support your twenty-something shenanigans.

Late nights and early mornings leave little time for meal prep and thinking about making healthy choices. When you’re happy hour extends far beyond 60 minutes, your mornings are probably riddled with headaches and bloated bellies. That’s fine, but let’s balance that out. Real Food Bars can be an on-the-go meal option, free from gluten, dairy, and processed ingredients.

But y’all know I don’t take anything at face value. I see a bar and I see its potential. I think it’s one of my gifts. And now I’m sharing that gift with you. So, if you didn’t go to happy hour tonight, here’s something to keep you occupied. Best part? You can bring these healthy, decadent cups to work and watch as jealousy ensues around you.

Do This:

  1. Pulse the crust ingredients in a blender or food processor. Stop & scrape every few seconds. It’s a labor of love, people.

  2. Combine all mousse ingredients and whip until well combined and airy.

  3. Press your crust into a muffin tin. Pout in the mousse.

  4. Freeze until you’re ready to freakin’ INHALE them. Yeah. They’re that good.
