Indulge in a healthy dessert with our avocado chocolate mousse topped with a vibrant tropical fruit compote. Nourish your body with every creamy bite!
Ingredients
- • ripe avocados: 2 medium
- • unsweetened cocoa powder: 1/3 cup
- • maple syrup: 1/4 cup
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • almond milk: 1/4 cup
- • sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • fresh pineapple: 1 cup, diced
- • fresh mango: 1 cup, diced
- • fresh ginger: 1 teaspoon, grated
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • chia seeds: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Begin by preparing the tropical fruit compote. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced pineapple, mango, grated ginger, lime juice, and ground cinnamon. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is softened and the juices thicken slightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- 2 While the compote cools, prepare the avocado chocolate mousse. Halve and pit the avocados, then scoop the flesh into a food processor. Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond milk, and sea salt.
- 3 Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Adjust sweetness with more maple syrup if desired. Transfer the mousse to individual serving bowls or glasses.
- 4 Spoon the chilled tropical fruit compote over the avocado chocolate mousse. Sprinkle with chia seeds for an added crunch and nutritional boost. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a firmer texture.
Serving Suggestions
- • This exotic spiced avocado chocolate mousse pairs beautifully with a refreshing herbal tea or a chilled glass of sparkling water with a twist of lime. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a few fresh mint leaves or a dusting of cocoa powder. To complement the tropical theme, consider serving alongside a small bowl of toasted coconut flakes or a handful of nuts for added texture and flavor. If you're hosting a dinner party, consider presenting this dessert in clear glass bowls to let the vibrant colors shine through. Add a slice of lime or a twist of citrus for a decorative touch that enhances the overall presentation.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain the mousse's creamy texture, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface before sealing. The tropical fruit compote can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 3 days, allowing you to enjoy its fresh flavors over breakfast cereals or yogurt if desired.
