Almond Butter & Cacao Mousse
- 1 avocado
- 2 medium bananas
- 125 g almond butter
- 1 tablespoon cacao
- 80 g maple syrup
- 40 g pitted dates
- 180 ml water
- 5 teaspoons coconut cream (the cream from the top of a can of full fat coconut milk)
- 5 strawberries
- Peel and remove the stone from the avocado, then peel the bananas.
- Place the avocado, bananas, almond butter, cacao and maple syrup in a blender and blitz until fully combined and a thick and creamy texture is reached.
- Divide the mixture into 5 small glasses (leaving a bit of room at the top of each glass for the date syrup and coconut cream) and place in the fridge to set.
- Place the dates and water in a sauce pan and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer. Keep mixing and mashing the dates until a smooth but thick syrup is reached.
- Remove the mousse from the fridge and add a layer of the date syrup, then place back in the fridge for 5 minutes.
- Open the can of coconut milk and spoon 1 teaspoon of the cream on top of each mousse glass, then top with a strawberry on each and serve or refrigerate until later.
