Christmas is upon us and that means lots of parties and celebratory food - which is always a good thing! If it is your job to provide dessert at any gathering this is the perfect recipe. It is the most delicious mousse cake I have ever eaten. It is fast, easy and tastes absolutely amazing. I sadly didn't take a photo of this beautiful cake but decided to post anyway since I got a few requests for the recipe. I will add a pic next time I make it. I am not really sure where I got the recipe from, but I can not take credit for it. Here it is:
