Sometimes life demands a touch of opulence, a moment of sheer, unadulterated indulgence. Yet, even amidst such extravagance, we mustn’t forget the virtuous path of well-being. That’s the spirit of this recipe, a delightful fusion of decadence and health. Allow me to introduce a delicate treat that dances between the worlds of pleasure and prudence – CBD Infused Chocolate Avocado Mousse.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Chilling Time: 1 hour
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
2 ripe avocados peeled and pitted.
1/4 cup raw cacao powder
1/4 cup CBD-infused honey (or to taste)
1/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Dark chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your avocados. They should be ripe, yet firm. Halve the fruit, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Remember, the smooth, creamy texture of the avocado will lend our mousse its luxurious consistency.
- Next, in the vessel of a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, raw cacao powder, CBD-infused honey, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. The cacao for a robust depth, the honey for a subtle sweetness imbued with the calming properties of CBD, and the vanilla and salt to tie all the flavors together.
- Pulse the ingredients together until they form a smooth and creamy mousse. Ensure that there are no lumps and do adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more CBD-infused honey.
- Once the mousse is well-blended and velvety, divide it equally among four serving glasses or ramekins. This will ensure a perfect serving size, a tease of richness without it becoming too much of a good thing.
- Chill the glasses of mousse in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the mousse to firm up slightly, resulting in the perfect spoonable delight.
- Before serving, garnish each glass with a few dark chocolate shavings and fresh raspberries, if you’d like. The tartness of the raspberries and the bitterness of the dark chocolate perfectly compliment the richness of our mousse, making each bite a true celebration of flavors.
