I love miniature food: mini muffins, mini cupcakes, mini bagels, mini pizzas…. I could go on forever. I used to believe that I like tiny food because it is cute, but I’ve come to the realization that my love for the small stuff doesn’t stem from it’s cuteness, but from the fact that I can eat twice as many and not look like a porker.

Although Melina’s baked bittersweet mousse aren’t miniature they do encourage the same kind of gluttonous eating. She admits that you can eat two of these without even noticing! The best thing about this dessert is how easy it is to prepare. Just five ingredients and five simple steps (step one is: turn on the oven). Melina garnished her mousse with raspberries, but you could easily substitute your favorite. I’m thinking this dessert would be perfect for a night in, curled up on the couch watching movies, or sitting outside on the patio around the fire pit. No matter how you decide to enjoy your mousse, you’re sure to end the night with Sweet Dreams.
