Ingredients List
- Maple Walnut Crust
- 1 ½ cups organic walnuts
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- a pinch fine sea salt
- Chocolate Avocado Mousse
- 4 ripe avocados
- 10 very soft dates (soaked if necessary)
- 4 Tbsp. raw agave nectar
- 2 Tbsp. high-quality raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder if you don”™t have the other)
Directions
1. Place walnuts in a food processor and pulse until chunky. Add the maple syrup and sea salt and pulse until the mixture is combined. (You can create a smoother crust by blending longer if you like, but in my experience leaving some chunks is a good idea to add contrast against the smooth chocolate pudding).
2. Get out a muffin pan. Scoop out a couple tablespoons of the walnut mixture at a time and press into the bottom of a muffin cup. Press firmly so that the walnut mixture is compact and holds together. You should be able to fill about 8 cups with the walnut crust. Refrigerate.
3. Finely chop the dates.
4. Cut open all the avocados and scoop them out into a clean food processor. Blend. Add the other ingredients and blend to incorporate.
5. Remove walnut crusts by running a knife around the perimeter to loosen, then lift out. If the crust breaks or becomes dented, simply press it back together once it”™s out the mold.
6. Spoon a large dollop of avocado mouse on top of the crust base. Garnish with whatever fruit you have on hand (fresh berries, banana, dates, pomegranate, pineapple”¦). Serve to very lucky people.
Notes: You can change things up by making a whole tart ”“ simply press the walnut mixture into a tart shell, spoon the avocado pudding on top and slice.
If you have any extra filling, just keep it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days and eat it like pudding. It”™s great for breakfast!
