Ingredients
- 8 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Toasted almonds, chopped
- 6 pieces Fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Place the pitted dates in a bowl and cover them with warm water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes to soften.
Step 2
Drain the dates and transfer them to a blender or food processor.
Step 3
Add the unsweetened almond milk to the blender with the dates.
Step 4
Add the coconut cream, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender. Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as necessary.
Step 5
Add the chia seeds to the blender and pulse a few times until the seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Do not over-blend as you want the seeds to remain whole.
Step 6
Transfer the mousse mixture into serving cups or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the chia seeds to thicken the mousse.
Step 7
Before serving, top each cup with a sprinkle of toasted chopped almonds and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Step 8
Enjoy this heart-healthy dessert with a smooth caramel-like flavor made from natural ingredients!
