Carolina, author of La Cocina de Carolina , brings us a sweet recipe that you can prepare without regrets : this chocolate mousse, with an avocado base, is easy to prepare, light and very tasty!
After the holidays, you will surely be thinking about going on a diet or at least reducing your consumption of sweets to lose those extra kilos that we have gained these days. As I am not a fan of express diets, they only produce rebound effects that end up making you gain even more weight, today I propose a recipe for a healthy chocolate mousse that is much lighter than the mousse we are used to.
In addition, this mousse is suitable for lactose intolerant people and for vegans, as it does not contain dairy products and is made only from natural ingredients, all of which are healthy and beneficial for health.
The base is made from avocado, an ingredient full of healthy fats that are essential for our body. It has a lot of fiber, which will help you eliminate toxins gained from the excesses of these days. Avocado is the perfect substitute for cream because it has monounsaturated fats that are so beneficial for our skin and muscle cells, and can also lower bad cholesterol levels.
Set of two Le Creuset ceramic ramekins
Ingredients
40 g of 70% chocolate
2 very ripe avocados
2 tablespoons of agave syrup
1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
250 ml of almond milk without added sugar
2 teaspoons Nomu vanilla extract
A pinch of fleur de sel
2 tablespoons ground almonds (or almond flour)
Fresh blueberries for garnish
Preparation
1. Put the avocado, vanilla extract , agave syrup, almond milk, coconut oil and salt in a large bowl and beat with our hand mixer until obtaining a more or less creamy consistency.
2. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie and add it to the avocado cream, continuing to beat at maximum speed for about 2-3 minutes.
3. Check the sweetness and adjust with more agave if necessary. You can also add more chocolate if you want, you can combine it with defatted cocoa powder.
4. Pour the mousse into our ramekins and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
We serve with ground almonds and blueberries.

El sirope de ágave lo puedes encontrar en grandes superficies (a menudo cerca del azúcar y la miel), o en algunas herboristarías. Espero que la localices, y ya nos dirás qué tal resulta este delicioso mousse! :)
Saludos, Claudia
