Nutrient Dense Chocolate Mousse
Indulgence meets nourishment in this rich and silky Nutrient Dense Chocolate Mousse.
Crafted with pastured eggs and raw dairy, this recipe isn’t just a sweet treat—it’s a celebration of local, seasonal, skin-supporting nutrition. It’s become a staple in our home, especially in the days following our monthly raw milk collection. A moment of indulgence, yes—but one that leaves your body and skin deeply nourished.
Why It’s Not Just Dessert (It’s Skin Food)
The pastured eggs in this mousse come from our own backyard hens. These happy girls roam freely, foraging a natural diet rich in nutrients—and it shows. Their vibrant yolks aren’t just beautiful—they’re packed with skin-loving nutrition:
✔ Vitamin A – essential for skin cell turnover and healing
✔ Vitamin D – supports elasticity and hormonal balance
✔ Omega-3s – reduce inflammation and support a clear, even skin tone
✔ High-quality protein – helps rebuild collagen and maintain skin structure
The Beauty of Raw Dairy
We scoop the fresh cream from the top of our raw milk to make this mousse—and it’s absolute gold. Raw dairy isn’t just creamy and delicious—it’s a treasure trove for your skin:
✔ Probiotics – support gut health and calm inflammatory skin conditions
✔ Enzymes – aid digestion, which improves nutrient absorption (including for skin!)
✔ Unaltered nutrient profile – full of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, and K2, which play a direct role in collagen production and skin hydration
Sustainability with Every Spoonful
Using farm-fresh, local ingredients isn’t just good for your body and skin—it’s also good for the planet. Supporting ethical farms or raising your own hens creates a closed-loop system of nourishment that promotes resilience, biodiversity, and connection to the land.
Whether you’re making this mousse to satisfy a craving, impress dinner guests, or nourish your postpartum body—know that every bite is feeding your skin, your gut, and your soul.
