Indulge in a guilt-free dessert with our exotic spiced avocado and date mousse. A creamy, nutrient-rich treat bursting with natural sweetness.
Ingredients
- • ripe avocados: 2 large
- • Medjool dates, pitted: 8
- • unsweetened almond milk: 1/2 cup
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground cardamom: 1/4 teaspoon
- • unsweetened cocoa powder: 1 tablespoon
- • pinch of salt
- • crushed pistachios: 2 tablespoons (for garnish)
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Begin by soaking the pitted Medjool dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them, making them easier to blend into a smooth paste.
- 2 Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor. Drain the dates and add them to the blender along with the almond milk.
- 3 Add vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt to the blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- 4 Taste the mousse and adjust the spices or sweetness to your preference. Once satisfied, transfer the mousse to individual serving bowls or glasses.
- 5 Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly.
- 6 Before serving, garnish with crushed pistachios and fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added crunch. Enjoy your healthy dessert chilled.
Serving Suggestions
- • For an extra layer of flavor and texture, consider serving this Exotic Spiced Avocado & Date Mousse with a side of fresh berries, like raspberries or blueberries, which add a refreshing tartness that complements the rich mousse. Pair it with a cup of herbal tea, such as chamomile or peppermint, to enhance the soothing, aromatic qualities of the dessert. If you're hosting a dinner party, this mousse can be elegantly served in small glasses or ramekins, allowing your guests to appreciate the vibrant green color adorned with bright pistachios and mint. It's a perfect light ending to a meal, leaving everyone satisfied but not weighed down.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover mousse in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For optimal freshness, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the mousse to prevent oxidation. While the mousse can be frozen for up to a month, the texture may change upon thawing, so it is best enjoyed fresh.
