Easy Chocolate Mousse #SweetHack, Next item on your treat table menu

This #SweetHack that is about to change the way you do sweet tables. 

Have you ever seen a product on the shelf at Walmart or Target and think to yourself, "I'd really like to try that"? Then, you eventually talk yourself out of it because "when will you have the time to use it?" Yeah...so that's pretty much my life when I'm at the store.

With that said, I've been eyeballing this Dessert Mix by Royal Desserts for the longest time on the cake mix aisle of Walmart. You may have seen it before but never really noticed it. I included a picture in the Sweet Hack video above so that you'll know what to look for next time you're on that aisle.

Here lately I made a commitment to myself to step away from the web design projects and business coaching at least once a week to get back to my happy place in the kitchen...which led me to this little #SweetHack.

As most Sugar Coin Academy members will tell you, I talk a lot about how "time is your most valuable resource!" Not only in business (but also in life) time is the most valuable thing in this world because you can never get more time! Well...at least until they release time machines for public use, but I'm sure you get my point.

So, with that said...you'll notice a trend that most of the recipes and tutorials on this blog will be focused on helping you save time and sometimes even money...and this #SweetHack will actually do both. 

Learn to create mousse 3 ways

This tutorial will show you how to make a mousse three different ways while only using two simple ingredients. Sounds pretty easy, right? Well, it is!

Although, I know there are still plenty of folks out there who don't believe in using mixes in their business, I (for one) believe in profitability, efficiency, and quality. In other words, I look at (1) what provides the largest profit, (2) is the most time efficient process and (3) is my customer pleased?

In my experience, the right pre-made mixes or the right tweaks to the right mixes can help most sweet peeps meet these three standards. Fast forward, to the reason why I'm sharing this Sweet Hack.

After trying this dessert mix, I can assure you that this is going to be (1) a real time saver for those who are used to making their mousse from scratch, (2) an ego booster for newbies who don't feel confident in their culinary abilities, and (3) perfect for the hobby baker who wants to show off for their friends & family.

In this tutorial, I used pre-made dessert cups from ChocoMaker...but you may be able to save even more money by making your own edible cups, especially if you have the correct chocolate mold on hand. I actually don't own a lot of molds so these little cups were a great option for me. However, pre-made or a quick pour and freeze will both work just as well for these desserts.
