Indulge guilt-free with this luscious matcha avocado chocolate mousse. Rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, it's the perfect healthy dessert!
Ingredients
- • ripe avocados: 2 medium
- • unsweetened almond milk: 1/4 cup
- • matcha powder: 1 tablespoon
- • dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more): 1/2 cup, melted
- • pure maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • sea salt: a pinch
Instructions
- 1 Begin by melting the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- 2 In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocados, matcha powder, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 3 Slowly add the melted dark chocolate to the blender and blend again until the mixture is fully integrated and smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness or matcha intensity if needed.
- 4 Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up.
- 5 Once chilled, serve the mousse garnished with a sprinkle of matcha powder or a few shavings of dark chocolate, if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve this decadent mousse with a side of fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries to enhance its rich flavors with a tart twist. A sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top can add a delightful crunch and a tropical touch. Pair the mousse with a cup of green tea or a refreshing mint infusion to complement the matcha notes, creating a harmonious dessert experience. For a more lavish presentation, consider layering the mousse with a dollop of Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt in a glass. This not only adds a contrasting texture but also boosts the protein content, making it a more balanced dessert option.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain its creamy texture, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the mousse before sealing the container. This prevents any skin from forming and keeps the mousse as fresh as possible. If you wish to enjoy it later, allow the mousse to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.
