Indulge in a creamy coconut-avocado mousse topped with a spicy ginger crumble for a healthy dessert that tantalizes taste buds and nourishes your body.
Ingredients
- • ripe avocados: 2
- • canned coconut milk: 1 cup
- • raw honey or agave (for vegan): 3 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • rolled oats: 1/2 cup
- • almonds, chopped: 1/4 cup
- • fresh ginger, grated: 1 tablespoon
- • coconut oil: 1 tablespoon
- • cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Start by preparing the ginger crumble. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, grated ginger, coconut oil, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well to ensure the oats and almonds are well-coated.
- 2 Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Stir halfway through to ensure even baking. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- 3 While the crumble is cooling, prepare the mousse. Scoop the flesh from the avocados into a blender. Add coconut milk, honey (or agave for a vegan option), vanilla extract, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy, making sure there are no lumps.
- 4 To assemble, divide the avocado mousse into four serving bowls. Sprinkle the cooled ginger crumble generously over each serving. For an extra pop of flavor, you can garnish with additional lime zest or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Serving Suggestions
- • To enhance the exotic flavors of this dessert, consider serving it with a side of fresh tropical fruits like mango slices or passion fruit. A cup of herbal tea or a chilled ginger-infused sparkling water could be the perfect beverage pairing to complement the spicy-sweet notes. For a touch of elegance, serve the mousse in clear glass cups to showcase its creamy texture and vibrant green color topped with the golden crumble. Add a sprig of mint for a fresh garnish that elevates the presentation.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days to maintain its freshness and creamy texture. The ginger crumble can be kept in a sealed bag or container at room temperature for up to a week. If you plan to keep the mousse longer, consider adding a squeeze of lime juice to preserve its vibrant color.
