Indulge in a healthy dessert with our beetroot & avocado chocolate mousse parfait. A nutritious, guilt-free treat packed with superfoods!
Ingredients
- • medium beetroots: 2, cooked and peeled
- • ripe avocados: 2, flesh only
- • unsweetened cocoa powder: 1/4 cup
- • maple syrup: 3 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • almond milk: 1/4 cup
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • pomegranate seeds: 1/2 cup
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1/4 cup
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Begin by blending the cooked and peeled beetroots in a food processor until smooth. This will form the vibrant base of your mousse.
- 2 Add the avocado flesh, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, sea salt, and almond milk to the beetroot puree. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- 3 Gently fold in the chia seeds to the mousse mixture to add a natural thickening agent and additional nutrients. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the seeds to absorb some moisture.
- 4 Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls, layering with pomegranate seeds and shredded coconut for texture and flavor contrast.
- 5 Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set the flavors and achieve the perfect consistency.
- 6 Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut and a few fresh mint leaves for a refreshing finish.
Serving Suggestions
- • This parfait pairs beautifully with a warm herbal tea such as chamomile or peppermint, enhancing its refreshing qualities. For a more decadent experience, serve with a light drizzle of dark chocolate sauce made from melted dark chocolate with a touch of coconut oil. The vibrant color and flavor of this dessert make it a stunning centerpiece for any wellness-focused gathering or a sophisticated end to a dinner party.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The chia seeds will continue to thicken the mousse slightly as it sits. If you notice any separation, simply give it a gentle stir before serving. Avoid freezing as this may affect the texture of the mousse.
