METHOD
Place all ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender. (Food processor works great.) Slowly add in a splash or two of almond or coconut milk until the mixture reaches desired consistency. (This is a thick dessert.) Place mousse in the refrigerator for at least an hour to let the flavors set before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Serve in individual small bowls and sprinkle with toppings of choice. Enjoy!
