As far as cakes go, this one isn't all that bad. By that I mean, it's slightly on the more healthy side than your average chocolate cake. That means you can eat a bigger slice. Which you will want to do. Trust me.

Dulce de Leche Mousse

Well, this is my first post in a couple of weeks. That was unexpected - Emmet and I traveled up to the North Island to spend the holidays with my parents and we quickly discovered that we were being whisked away on a beautiful (but internetless) beach holiday. It was a perfect break away but now I am back and ready to share with you all.

When I was in Argentina I became a bit obsessed with dulce de leche. I brought quite a lot back to NZ with me and this beautiful dulce de leche and chocolate mousse is a delightful treat that came out of this obsession.

This chocolate and peppermint slice is easy to make and is a great treat for yourself or for a nice homemade edible gift.
