HEALTHY 5 MIN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

What’s mousse?

Mousse is a dessert that’s made of cream and eggs that have been whipped until they‘re light and creamy. … No wonder mousse is considered to be a comfort food and loved by many. In Old French, mousse means “froth,” but also, unappetizingly, “scum.”

If you have heavy cream, some eggs, and flavoring — plus a whisk or an electric mixer — you can make mousse. Most mousses are sweet, flavored with chocolate or fruit or nut butter, but it’s also possible to make a savory mousse, like a salmon mousse (here’s a new idea for my next recipe) or a chicken liver mousse.

Today, I will show you how to make a healthier version of chocolate mousse made from avocado but retains the amazing taste and texture of a real chocolate mousse. This recipe has no eggs, no sugar or diary and it’s gluten free.

Recipe:
2 Small Avocados – 1 avocado for 2 portions
1/3 Cup coconut milk – 2 tbsp + 2 tsp
3 Tbsp Cocoa Powder – 1.5 tbsp
3 Tbsp Honey – 1.5 tbsp
1/4 tsp shredded skin of orange
pinch of sea salt

Cut avocados in half and remove pip and skin.
Place into a food processor with the coconut milk, honey, cocoa powder, and 1/4 tsp of shredded skin from orange.
Blend until the mousse comes together. If you would like a thinner mousse consistency just add more milk. This mousse doesn’t taste like avocado at all.
Serve with your choice of berries or seeds of pomegranate. This mousse should last in the fridge for a few days.
Enjoy!

There is no lack of Pumpkin Bread recipes out there. The problem with most of them, they have tons of sugar, fat and flour. So, I decided to create something that is not only tastes like the real McCoy but healthy too.

1/2 cup arrowroot powder

1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp ground nutmeg

Did someone say edible cookie dough?

Have you checked out the edible cookie dough trend, yet? Some of the recipes and mixes out there are absolutely DELICIOUS!

The problem, they also contain some questionable ingredients, a ton of hidden sugar, and many also include pretty hard-to-find specialty items.

But not my recipe!

It’s fast, easy, and you might already have everything you need in your kitchen. It’s also gluten-free and can easily be vegan as well.

TIP: getting the skins off the chickpeas will make a big difference in the texture. It’s a little extra work but it’s worth it.

A quick method – rinse them in a colander, then spread them out on 1-2 layers of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.

Place some paper towels over them and rub them back and forth vigorously. The peels should start to come off. Rinse and repeat!

Almond Chocolate Chip Edible Cookie Dough

Makes about 2 cups/16 servings

1 can (15.5 oz/440 grams) unsalted chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and peeled

1 cup (255 grams) almond butter

2 tbsp maple syrup or honey

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1 tsp sea salt

4 oz (115 grams) dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cacao)

(OPTIONAL) 2-3 tbsp melted dark chocolate

Place the first 5 ingredients in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

If you’re using the melted chocolate, blend it in, and then stir in the chocolate chips. Taste and adjust sweetness.

Scrape the batter into a jar or covered container and enjoy! (Tip: store this in the refrigerator – it’s extra-yummy when it’s cold.)

You could make this for yourself or your fam … OR you can put them in nice glass jars and give them out as holiday gifts!

Enjoy 🙂
