Dessert Upgrade: Peppermint Mocha Mousse Recipe

Hey, mama. I see you. Juggling not only your schedule, but your kids’ schedules, home school/virtual learning, plus prepping for the holidays. This is your reminder that you are sleighin’ it! Pardon the holiday pun. 😉 But, I mean it. I get that this time of year can be CRAZY without even factoring in all the other things we are juggling. That’s why quick and easy is my go-to in EVERYTHING. This extends to all our favorite holiday baked goods too. No one, and I mean no one, has time for extra dishes these days. Hey, there is no shame in my holiday game.

One of my favorite traditions is to spend a day baking with the kids. But right now I’ll be honest: We are having a hard time fitting in one more thing. And the last thing I want is my kiddos to feel gipped on the holiday fun or to spend their days eating nothing but sugar. Neither option is going to be a win in this house. After creating a snickerdoodle shake with Ruby, I decided what better way to celebrate the holidays than with a twist on peppermint mocha! That’s why I’m whipping up this super tasty, super healthy festive treat that you and the kids can make and enjoy as OFTEN as you want—guilt-free. Behold this peppermint mocha mousse (say that three times fast).
