For some reason, my cravings for sweets have increased recently, but I also don't want to gorge on sugary treats. This has led to my extensive search for healthier alternatives. Since I had a ripe avocado sitting in my fruit basket, I decided to put it to good use and make a mousse out of it.
Avocados contain healthy fats and have fiber which can keep you feeling full for quite some time. They also aid in the absorption of nutrients and help to maintain steadier blood sugar levels.
Now, onto the recipe which is as simple as ABC! Peel and mash the avocado, add some cocoa powder, vanilla essence and a sweetener (Stevia, honey, date syrup etc.) and voila, you have creamy chocolatey goodness!! I layered some crumbled sugar-free shortbread cookies between the mousse to add some texture, and my sweet tooth was satisfied. The mousse with vanilla ice cream is another divine combo!!
Happy cooking!
Definitely going to make that in vacations.
