Eggless Chocolate Mousse

I am back after Summer Holidays!!!!!

I was on my summer vacation for the last couple of months. I had a very good time in India attending lot of weddings. After coming back my dear friend Bharathy kept on asking why I don’t post something on the blog…and my answer was I will…it took one month for me to get over my holiday hangover!!! This being my first post in almost 3 months, I thought something sweet was appropriate. So here is the recipe for Eggless Chocolate Mousse!
