Indulge in a vibrant dragon fruit and creamy avocado mousse parfait, rich in omega-3s and antioxidants. Perfect for a guilt-free dessert!
Ingredients
- • ripe dragon fruit: 1 medium, peeled and cubed
- • ripe avocado: 1 large, peeled and pitted
- • coconut milk: 1/2 cup, full-fat
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • unsweetened coconut flakes: 1/4 cup, for garnish
- • fresh mint leaves: a handful, for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Begin by placing the cubed dragon fruit, avocado, coconut milk, maple syrup, lime juice, and vanilla extract into a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring the mixture is well combined.
- 2 Transfer the mousse into a bowl and fold in the chia seeds gently. This will add texture and nutritional value, providing a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.
- 3 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This chilling time allows the mousse to thicken and the flavors to meld beautifully.
- 4 Once chilled, spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Top with a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut flakes and a few fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.
Serving Suggestions
- • For a refreshing contrast, pair this mousse parfait with a side of fresh berries such as blueberries or raspberries, which will complement the tropical flavors. A chilled herbal tea like mint or chamomile would make a perfect beverage pairing, enhancing the cooling sensation of the dessert. Alternatively, serve with a small scoop of sorbet for an extra burst of fruitiness, especially if you're indulging in this treat during warmer months. The parfait's vibrant colors and creamy texture make it a visually appealing centerpiece for any dessert table.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover parfait in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The chia seeds will continue to absorb moisture, so if the mousse becomes too thick, stir in a little coconut milk before serving to restore its creamy texture.
