Ingredients
Scale
For the no egg chocolate mousse:
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 avocado (about 6 oz)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbl raw cacao
- 2 tbl ROOM TEMPERATURE water
- 1 tbl grass fed gelatin
For the cherry compote:
- 2 cups pitted black cherries
- 2 tbl maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except water and gelatin in a blender. Puree everything until as smooth as possible.
- In a small bowl or jug, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the room temperature water. Stir with a fork to combine, about 1 minute. It will be thick; that’s ok!
- Add the gelatin mixture to the blender and combine until totally smooth.
- Divide the mousse between 4 glasses (pictured are 13 oz margarita glasses, but they don’t have to be that large). Refrigerate mousse until set, at least 1 hour.
- In a saucepan, combine the cherries, maple syrup and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer and over medium high heat, stirring often, simmer 5 – 10 minutes until thickened. The cherries are done when you can sweet a clean path across the bottom of the pan.
- Chill the cherry compote.
- When puddings are set – and when cherry compote is completely cool – divide the cherry mixture evenly between the 4 glasses and serve.
