Boba Mint Chocolate Mousse. Creamy rich mint chocolate mousse with chewy brown sugar bobas. An easy chocolate dessert recipe made with 7 ingredients with minimal steps! I also share how to make this dairy-free below.
I absolutely love fresh mint chocolate mousse. It is something I really cannot resist and I could probably eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner if nutrition didn't matter at all! But when you add a little bit of peppermint to chocolate mousse, it is PURE heaven. The mint chocolate mousse practically melts-in-your-mouth and the chewy bobas are the perfect contrasting texture to this dessert!
This is boba mint chocolate mousse is a great dessert to make for guests because it's incredibly easy. It's foolproof as long as you let the mixture come to a boil to activate the agar agar powder. You can make the mint and chocolate mousse ahead but it's best to prepare the bobas the same day as serving or they lose their chewy texture if they're refrigerated in the cold overnight.
I created this easy dessert recipe because I am obsessed with creamy chocolate mousse, mint and bobas. The combination of these ingredients are truly heavenly and I hope you enjoy it!
