Ingredients

Crust

Mousse

  • 4 ripe avocados
  • 10 dates pitted
  • 4 tablespoon raw honey
  • 2 tablespoon raw cocoa powder
  • Seeds of 1 pomegranate

Instructions

  • Begin by making the crust. Using a food processor, grind up the walnuts until small chunks are produced. Continue grinding and add the maple syrup and salt. You will know the mixture is combined, as it will be sticky and come together quite easily.
    1 ½ cups walnuts, 2 tablespoon maple syrup, A pinch of salt
  • Using 8 small ramekins, put a few tablespoons of the walnut mixture into each one of them. Press the mixture into the bottom of the individual ramekins so that a round disc forms. Place the individual ramekins in the refrigerator so that the crust can harden in colder temperatures.
  • Remove the skin and pits of the avocados and place the flesh in a food processor. Process and add the dates, honey, and cocoa powder. Make sure you process it until completely smooth.

  • Remove the ramekins from the refrigerator. Place the mousse in a piping bag and pipe it out atop the crust in the individual ramekins. You can create a makeshift piping bag with a simple zip-lock or freezer bag but cutting one corner with scissors.
  • Finish it all off by garnishing it with the pomegranate seeds.
