Ingredients
- • ripe jackfruit pods: 1 cup (seeded and chopped)
- • raw cacao powder: 2 tablespoons
- • almond milk: 1/2 cup (unsweetened)
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground nutmeg: 1/4 teaspoon
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • shelled pistachios: 1/4 cup (toasted and chopped)
- • sea salt: a pinch
Instructions
- 1 In a blender, combine the chopped jackfruit, raw cacao powder, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 2 Transfer the blended mixture into a bowl and stir in the chia seeds. Mix well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the chia seeds to expand and thicken the mousse.
- 3 While the mousse is chilling, toast the pistachios. Place them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let them cool before chopping.
- 4 Once the mousse has set, give it a good stir and divide it into individual serving bowls. Top each serving with a sprinkle of toasted pistachios and a pinch of sea salt for added flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve this Spiced Cacao Jackfruit Mousse chilled, garnished with fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and freshness. Pair it with a side of seasonal berries like raspberries or blueberries to enhance the natural sweetness and add a burst of antioxidants. For a refreshing beverage, consider a cold brew hibiscus tea, which complements the exotic flavors of the mousse while providing additional health benefits. This dessert is versatile enough to be served after a light meal or as an indulgent afternoon snack. Its rich, creamy texture and complex flavors make it a standout dish that will impress any guest while staying true to your health-conscious goals.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, give it a good stir as the chia seeds may continue to thicken the mixture over time. If the mousse becomes too thick, you can adjust the texture by stirring in a small amount of almond milk.
