Raspberry Cheesecake Mousse Recipe

When I met my husband he lived with roommates, one of whom made cheesecakes almost daily. Think on that for a moment…this woman was brilliant in the kitchen and she made my man’s very favourite dessert multiple times a week! My poor husband had NO idea how much he would miss his cheesecake….

So when I want to WOW Brad, I just whip up a cheesecake style of dessert and he is a happy man. The classic cheesecake is his favourite but he has also been enjoying different types of cheesecake desserts. My Berry Rhubarb Parfait No-Bake Cheesecake and my Raspberry Cheesecake Smoothie are 2 that he asks for often.

I’m always looking for ways to bring cheesecake to the table to make him smile and today I’m pleased to be sharing a Raspberry Cheesecake Mousse which I think you’ll all enjoy. It’s super simple and delicious.
