Chocolate Mousse and Oreo Parfaits
An incredibly rich, luxurious (yet healthy!) chocolate mousse layered with Oreos for quite possibly the perfect dessert.
Yield: people
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp large avocados , pitted, flesh scooped out
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 4 ounces vegan dark chocolate , or 1/2 cup raw cocoa/cacao powder for raw
- 3 tbsp coconut oil , liquid form
- ½ tbsp balsamic (don't sub any other vinegar here! And I highly encourage you to use a good balsamic here)
- ½ tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tbsp small pinch salt
- 10 Oreos or other chocolate sandwich cookie, about 8 for layering, 2 for crushing*
Instructions
- Make the mousse:
- Melt chocolate in a double-boiler, being careful not to overheat or burn.
- Scrape into a blender with all other ingredients. Blend until very smooth--a few pulses at the end will help get it all in there. Scrape down mousse as needed to ensure a perfectly smooth texture.
- Crush two Oreos by placing in a Ziploc bag and beating gently with a rolling pin--you want crushed Oreos, not Oreo dust! Layer mousse and Oreos in individual serving bowls, the amount of Oreos is up to you! We used about 2 per serving. Top with crushed Oreos.
- Refrigerate for two hours.
