Indulge in our Chia Mango Mousse with Avocado Lime Swirl, a creamy, nutrient-packed healthy dessert perfect for clean eating.
Ingredients
- • chia seeds: 1/3 cup
- • almond milk: 1 cup, unsweetened
- • ripe mango: 1 large, peeled and diced
- • avocado: 1 medium, ripe
- • lime juice: 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • unsweetened coconut flakes: 2 tablespoons (optional)
- • mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 In a medium bowl, combine chia seeds and almond milk. Stir well to prevent clumping and let sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the seeds to start absorbing the liquid.
- 2 While the chia seeds are soaking, blend the diced mango with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and vanilla extract until smooth. Once the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid, stir the mango puree into the chia mixture until well combined. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- 3 For the avocado lime swirl, blend the avocado with lime juice and the remaining tablespoon of maple syrup until creamy and smooth. Adjust sweetness to taste if necessary.
- 4 To serve, layer the mango chia mousse into serving cups and top with a generous dollop of avocado lime swirl. Sprinkle with unsweetened coconut flakes if desired. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Chia Mango Mousse with Avocado Lime Swirl pairs beautifully with a side of warm herbal tea, like chamomile or peppermint, which can enhance the flavors of the dessert while aiding digestion. For added texture and a bit of crunch, serve alongside a handful of raw almonds or pistachios. If you're enjoying this dessert as part of an afternoon treat, a glass of sparkling water with a lime wedge can add a refreshing contrast to the rich, creamy mousse.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The chia pudding may thicken further over time, so stir in a splash of almond milk if needed before serving again. To maintain the vibrant color and freshness of the avocado swirl, cover it tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to minimize oxidation.
