The whole idea of this cake is to combine a little bit bitter sweet chocolate cake with refreshing green kiwifruits. Of course, with yogurt as part of my mousse ingredient, making this dessert lesser guilt. I call it Lite Mousse cake. If you would like the total guilt free mousse cake, you may substitute the whip cream into yogurt and mix with some low fat milk to an extend of 75-15 percentage.
Especially for those weight watcher, enjoy this wonderful dessert.
