Vanilla Mousse Dip
Vanilla Mousse Dip is the creamiest Dip EVER and ideal for Valentine’s- or Mother’s Day ! The Dip is perfect for dipping fruits, fresh or grilled, cookies or a combination of the 2
Mother’s Day is right around the corner and this Vanilla Mousse Dip is a perfect light dessert to share with your Mom.
This is an incredibly, delicious creamy dip and can be used with fresh fruit, grilled {as I did}, or you could have a plate stacked with a variety of fruits and cookies to dip.
I would have loved to serve this to my late Mom, as she had such a sweet tooth, and she was always looking for something to nibble on. She could not eat large meals – what we consider as standard portions – at a time, and therefore she had lots of small meals throughout the day.
My Mom-In-Law on the other hand, will also love this. I plan on spoiling her quite a bit this Mother’s Day, as we will also be celebrating something else, centering around her. I know she reads the blog now and then, so I do not want to give away too much of what I have planned.
Let’s just say, I might make this Vanilla Mousse Dip,,, or I might make something else, maybe this White Chocolate Dip !
If you are planning to make this Dip, for Mother’s Day or any other day, try making it only a little while before serving as chilling will harden the Dip – it does soften up again when you bring it back to room temperature, but there is a slight change in taste.
