Discover a creamy, nutritious mango-avocado cacao mousse, rich in antioxidants. A vegan, dairy-free dessert that's both indulgent and healthy!
Ingredients
- • ripe avocados: 2 medium
- • ripe mangoes: 2 medium
- • unsweetened cacao powder: 1/4 cup
- • pure maple syrup: 3 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • fresh lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • pinch of sea salt
- • cacao nibs: 2 tablespoons (for garnish)
- • fresh mint leaves: handful (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1 Begin by cutting the avocados and mangoes in half, removing the seeds and pits, and scooping the flesh into a food processor or blender.
- 2 Add the unsweetened cacao powder, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- 3 Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired. Blend again to incorporate any additions.
- 4 Transfer the mousse into serving bowls or glass jars. Cover the containers and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
- 5 Before serving, garnish each serving with a sprinkle of cacao nibs and a few fresh mint leaves for an added burst of flavor and texture.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Mango-Avocado Cacao Mousse pairs beautifully with a side of fresh berries such as raspberries or blueberries, which add a pop of color and a dose of antioxidants. For a refreshing beverage pairing, consider serving this dessert with a chilled herbal tea such as chamomile or a lightly sparkling water infused with citrus slices. For a sophisticated presentation, serve the mousse in clear glass cups or small dessert bowls, layered with additional mango slices or topped with edible flowers. This will enhance the visual appeal and elevate your dining experience.
Storage Tips
To store any leftover mousse, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Ensure the surface is covered with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent oxidation from affecting the color and flavor. For best results, consume within the first two days to enjoy optimal freshness.
