Chocolate Brownie Raspberry Mousse Tart

 

I like a lot of desserts chilled and this brownie raspberry mousse tart is no exception. If you prefer desserts at room temperature let the tart sit our for about 20-30 minutes before serving. I used a lighter recipe for the brownie base to cut some calories and a creamy raspberry mousse for the topping. I prefer using egg whites and whipping or heavy cream when making the mousse. I like how whipped meringue makes the mousse light and airy. Combination of the 2 flavors makes for a scrumptious dessert that is suit for any day.
