According to a recent study published by the European Society of Cardiology, the combination of chocolate and olive oil together can reduce the biological markers of heart disease! Inspired by this knowledge, this month we have highlighted a few of our favorite ways to combine chocolate and olive oil. This recipe is very simple to make and deliciously rich. Sugar can be subbed for coconut sugar, and both chocolate and olive oil can be purchased in the shop. Enjoy this mousse and let us know what you think!
