CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
SE
RVES
4 (OR 6 SMALLER PORTIONS)
Understandably the darling of health circles, this dessert is creamy and luscious while also being full of healthy nutrients and low in refined sugar. You won’t be able to get enough! INGREDIENTS 50g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 avocados, pits and skins removed
50ml maple syrup
50g cocoa powder (+ extra for dusting)
Pinch of sea salt
EQUIPMENT NEEDED Food processor or hand whisk
METHOD 1 To melt the chopped chocolate in a bainmarie, put the chocolate in a small bowl and place the bowl over a saucepan of hot water ensuring that the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Simmer the water on a low heat while stirring the chocolate until it’s melted and smooth.
2 Blend the melted chocolate with the rest of the ingredients together in a food processor until super smooth, or alternatively use a hand whisk (this will take a bit longer). Spoon the mousse into 4 or 6 serving glasses or little bowls, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. I recommend martini glasses for an impressive presentation. 3 To serve, use a small sieve to dust some cocoa powder over the top of the mousse.
