Sometimes a recipe appeals not just to your tastebuds, but to your mouth in general. Mouthfeel is a huge component of enjoying your food—and have we got something to share with you.

Smooth. Creamy. It’s decadence in a bowl—and we can’t get this perfect-mouthfeel mousse, crafted by Layne Lieberman of Beyond The Mediterranean Diet, out of our heads.

 

This was the “go-to” snack for my children when they were young. They loved it! Need I say more? And yes, it tastes as rich as velvety French mousse.
