Discover the ultimate healthy dessert with our Spirulina & Avocado Mousse Parfait. Rich in nutrients, this vegan treat is a vibrant, guilt-free indulgence!
Ingredients
- • ripe avocados: 2
- • ripe banana: 1
- • spirulina powder: 1 teaspoon
- • pure maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • unsweetened almond milk: 1/4 cup
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries): 1 cup
- • raw almonds, chopped: 1/4 cup
- • coconut flakes: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 In a blender, combine the ripe avocados, banana, spirulina powder, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and unsweetened almond milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
- 2 Transfer the mousse mixture to a bowl and fold in the chia seeds. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes to let the chia seeds absorb some of the moisture and thicken the mousse.
- 3 To assemble the parfaits, divide the spirulina-avocado mousse evenly among four serving glasses or bowls. Layer with fresh mixed berries, creating a vibrant contrast with the green mousse.
- 4 Top each parfait with a sprinkle of chopped raw almonds and coconut flakes for added texture and a satisfying crunch. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes for a colder treat.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Vibrant Spirulina & Avocado Mousse Parfaits make a stunning dessert when served in clear glass cups to showcase their beautiful layers. For an extra burst of flavor and color, consider garnishing with a few mint leaves or a dusting of cocoa powder on top. Pair this healthy dessert with a refreshing herbal tea or a lightly sweetened iced green tea to complement its natural flavors. For a delightful brunch dessert option, you can serve these parfaits alongside a fresh fruit salad or a plate of whole grain crackers with a light cheese spread. The creamy avocado mousse pairs well with savory accompaniments, making it versatile enough for any meal occasion.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Before serving again, give it a good stir to refresh the texture. If you've pre-assembled parfaits, cover them with plastic wrap to prevent the mousse from absorbing any fridge odors. Note that the mousse may slightly discolor due to the avocado; however, it remains safe to eat and retains its delicious flavor.
