Chocolate Mousse Tarts

Finishing off the first series of guest posts here on Morsels of Life, we have Lisa from Flour Me with Love! I know I often opt to just not bake because it takes too long or it's too complicated or some other excuse. But if you look at Lisa's recipes, you can see how simple and straightforward baking can be! So, let's give Lisa a warm welcome as she shares her Chocolate Mousse Tarts with us. :)


My name is Lisa and I'm the publisher of Flour Me with Love. I'm a stay-at-home mom to four kids, and I have a passion for baking. Life can be very hectic, and I know a lot of people don't have the time to bake. Plus, some feel that it may be too complicated. I started Flour Me with Love to show everyone just how simple it is. I show step-by-step photo tutorials and have easy to follow instructions. I also use readily available ingredients so you'll be able to make any of the recipes on my blog. I hope you'll follow along!
