Indulge in a creamy avocado-chocolate mousse with spirulina and toasted coconut. A guilt-free, nutrient-packed dessert to boost your wellness journey!
Ingredients
- • ripe avocados: 2 medium
- • raw cacao powder: 1/4 cup
- • pure maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • spirulina powder: 1 teaspoon
- • unsweetened almond milk: 1/4 cup
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1/4 cup
- • sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Begin by slicing the avocados in half, removing the pits, and scooping the flesh into a food processor. Add the cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, spirulina powder, almond milk, and sea salt.
- 2 Blend the ingredients until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Ensure the mixture is creamy and free of avocado chunks for the perfect mousse texture.
- 3 Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the shredded coconut. Toast the coconut, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- 4 Divide the mousse into individual serving bowls or glasses. Top each portion with the toasted coconut and a sprinkle of additional spirulina powder for an extra nutrient boost.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Avocado-Chocolate Mousse pairs beautifully with a fresh berry medley for added color and a burst of natural sweetness. Consider serving with a side of sliced strawberries or raspberries for a refreshing contrast. For a beverage pairing, a cup of herbal tea such as chamomile or mint complements the rich flavors of the mousse without overpowering them. Alternatively, a light almond or oat milk latte can enhance the creamy texture of the dessert.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain its vibrant color and creamy texture, ensure the mousse is covered tightly to prevent oxidation. If the mousse becomes too firm after refrigeration, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
