Just because you swore off dairy doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to rich, creamy chocolate mousse. This recipe promises to be just as decadent with half the calories and a third of the fat than this dessert normally packs. By using dried fruit instead of sugar, each serving also boasts a whopping five grams of fiber. Serve with fresh berries for even more goodness.
