Extra Creamy Chocolate Mousse
Chocolate Tangerine Dessert
My easy mouthwatering tangerine chocolate mousse is a fantastic dessert, since it looks and tastes amazing.
It is light and a satisfying finish to a good meal.
Chocolate is always good, but the tangerine flavor kick elevates this simple mousse dessert into something really special.
When I was a kid, I looked forward to tangerine season every year and then ate my fill for snacks and with my lunch at school.
These days, we can get Cuties, Halos and other mandarin oranges year round.
Of course, I like them best, when they are at their peak of flavor.
The light and fluffy mousse is easy to make and looks pretty enough for guests.
If you haven’t ever used a piping bag, don’t let that discourage you. It is simple, so you can get the hang of it quickly.
However, if you want to make this dessert even easier, just skip the piping and spoon it into dessert cups.
I hope you enjoy this delicious chocolate citrus dessert!
