Indulge in a creamy, nutritious avocado matcha mousse topped with vibrant berry compote. A healthy dessert packed with antioxidants and healthy fats.
Ingredients
- • ripe avocados: 2
- • matcha powder: 2 teaspoons
- • pure maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
- • mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries): 1 cup
- • chia seeds: 1 tablespoon
- • water: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh mint leaves for garnish: optional
Instructions
- 1 Start by preparing the berry compote. In a small saucepan, combine mixed berries, chia seeds, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- 2 For the mousse, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender. Add the matcha powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 3 Transfer the avocado mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
- 4 Once the berry compote is cooled, spoon it over the avocado mousse. Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- 5 Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled for a refreshing treat.
Serving Suggestions
- • This refreshing dessert is perfect on its own, but you can enhance it with a sprinkle of toasted nuts like almonds or pistachios for added crunch. Pair it with a cup of green tea to complement the matcha flavors, or a chilled herbal tea for a soothing experience. For an extra layer of flavor, consider a dollop of unsweetened Greek yogurt on the side, adding both creaminess and a subtle tang that pairs beautifully with the sweet and tart notes of the berry compote.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To maintain the vibrant color and freshness of the mousse, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing. The berry compote can be stored separately in a small container and will stay fresh for up to three days.
