Imagine a no-cook, sugar-free chocolate mousse that’s also gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, corn-free and vegan — ready in about 5 minutes of hands-on time. One ingredient needs soaking for roughly 4 hours: dates. If you prefer a lower-carb or diabetic-friendly option, substitute or reduce dates and add a little stevia to taste. This recipe was inspired by requests for more gluten- and sugar-free dishes and makes a quick, impressive dessert for unexpected guests. It’s versatile — try variations with different fruits or nuts, such as macadamia or walnuts. With summer here, it’s a relief not to turn on the oven. Enjoy and stay healthy!
