This dark chocolate mousse made with creamy almond butter is going to be your new favorite dessert.

Chocolate and almond butter is the ultimate combo for any Paleo-indulgent dessert. We’ve crafted Chocolate Almond Butter Brownies before, but today we want to show you how to make this melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate mouse that’s rich in buttery flavor. The best part is, it only requires six ingredients and is crazy simple to make. 

The great thing about dark chocolate is that it contains plenty of health benefits and includes essential vitamins and minerals to help boost your overall mood. When making any kind of Paleo recipes with dark chocolate, make sure to use at least 70 percent cacao since anything less typically contains unnecessary refined sugars that can be damaging to your health.

To get started, you’ll want to combine all ingredients in a bowl and transfer it to two separate cups. Then, place both cups inside the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the mixture to harden to mousse-like consistency. Once you’ve got the perfect texture, dig in and treat yourself to a guiltless Paleo-friendly treat.
