SWEET TREATS
SWEET TREATS
A silky chocolate mousse blended from ripe avocados, unsweetened cacao, and your choice of an approved sweetener. Chill before serving for a thicker, richer texture.
Makes: 4 small servings | Prep: 10 minutes | Chill: 30 minutes
INGREDIENTS
• 2 ripe organic avocados, peeled and pitted
• ⅓ cup organic unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder
• ¼ cup organic pure maple syrup OR ¼ cup unfiltered honey; start with less and adjust to taste
• Optional alternative: a small amount of pure monk fruit sweetener with no dextrose, added gradually to taste
• 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
• Pinch of fine sea salt
• 2–4 tablespoons organic milk or unsweetened organic coconut milk, as needed for blending
• Optional topping: organic raspberries or cacao nibs
DIRECTIONS
1. Add the avocado, cacao, maple syrup or honey, vanilla, and salt to a food processor or high-speed blender.
2. Blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape the bowl. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time only as needed to help it blend.
3. Taste and adjust sweetness gradually. If using monk fruit, add a tiny amount at a time because products vary in concentration.
4. Spoon into small serving cups. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes. Add raspberries or cacao nibs just before serving.
CLEAN-SOURCING NOTES
Choose organic ingredients where available. Use unsweetened cocoa or cacao with a current label that fits your gluten-free and soy-free requirements. Use pure maple syrup, unfiltered honey, or pure monk fruit without dextrose; the sweeteners are not interchangeable measure-for-measure, so adjust to taste. This dessert contains no refined sugar when made with the listed options, but maple syrup and honey are still sugars. Contains no dairy if made with coconut milk.
