Making your own healthy desserts does not have to be complicated.
Keep it simple and you are more likely to make this than reach for a chocolate bar!
The lovely Emily from Conscious Foodie is sharing one of her raw desserts with us today to show you just how easy and delicious it really is.
Choc Berry Mousse Tart
Vital Stats: gluten free, grain free, vegan, dairy free, egg free, nut free
Serves 1
Ingredients:
1 large avocado
1 tablespoon raw cacao powder (can adjust depending on how rich you like it)
2 teaspoons maple syrup (can adjust depending on how sweet you like it)
Raspberries, blueberries (any berries you have) and shredded coconut to garnish
Blend the avocado, raw cacao powder and maple syrup in a blender until shiny and smooth. Spoon mixture into a small tart tin and set in the fridge for a couple of hours. Sprinkle with berries and coconut. Enjoy! This mousse keeps for a couple of days in the fridge. Feel free to use any sweetener – honey and dates would work well. Maybe double the mixture so you have extra, it’s pretty tasty!

How long can you keep this in the fridge?
I would say 3 days for any food 🙂
Have you tried this Sonia? It looks so ridiculously simple and good!
Similar stuff – it’s very awesome and all the good fats from the avo are soooo good for you! x
Wow, that does look delicious! I still have not tried any of the avo based chocolate dishes I’ve seen, but every time I see one I think – I MUST do that!
You would be surprised Kirsten! I first made them years ago when a contestant on Masterchef did one – no-one could believe how good it was!!
Yum! Love the consistency of avo-based chocolate desserts. And there is no reason you couldn’t encase this in some kind of yummy nutty crust!
I like your thinking Jo! x
