Swaps & notes

You can use honey or liquid stevia in place of maple syrup. You can make this recipe with regular milk, coconut milk or even water in place of almond milk. You can make fudgesicles with this recipe as well. Just freeze the mousse in ice cube trays. Thaw for 5 minutes before serving. To make chocolate sauce or fondue, increase water to 1 cup in this recipe.
