I really love experimenting with recipes. Particularly ones that consists of just a few ingredients, which you'll more likely to have at home.
There is nothing like a mouthwatering chocolate mousse to boost your mood, am I right? Most of the recipes you'll find online are loaded with refined sugar or are too complicated to make. That's why I created a recipe which will blow your mind. It's super easy AND super healthy. This mousse is going to be velvety, nutty and rich in chocolatey flavor.
One of the secret ingredients in this recipe is Tahini. Tahini is created from sesame seeds that have been soaked and crushed. It has a high concentration of healthy oils, filled with heart-healthy omega-3s. It gives the mousse a rich, nutty consistency that goes really well with the cocoa powder!
For my vegan raw chocolate mouse you don't even need added sugar, because all we use is the natural sweetness of a banana - it's the real deal. I throw in a bit of honey but that adds just a tiny amount of sugar per serving! This mouse is 100% raw, natural, free of refined sugar, gluten free and vegan. Hope you enjoy it!
Ingredients
- 1 block silken, soft tofu
- 2 large bananas (or 3 small)
- 2 tbsp tahini or almond butter (almond butter will be slightly sweeter
- 1.5 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp honey
Directions
- Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
