 A healthy festive Chocolate Mint Mousse made with avocado and banana. It’s also dairy free, egg free and refined sugar free!

Healthy Chocolate Mint Mousse

At this time of year it can seem that we are constantly surrounded by all thing unhealthy! Chocolates, sweets and non-stop party food.

With all of this temptation it can be really tricky to get our kids to eat enough fruit and veg.

So I thought, why not incorporate the two! A delicious sweet treat that’s actually packed full of nutritious ingredients!

This Chocolate Mint Mousse is so easy to make.

It can literally be whipped up in just a few minutes in a blender. And then transferred into ramekins or small bowls to be served straight away or to keep in the fridge until later.

My recipe serves 4-6 (depending on whether its adults or children) but it’s so simple to double or even triple the recipe in order to feed a crowd.

My mousse is gluten, dairy and egg free and so is perfect if you are dealing with a number of different allergies this festive season.

The base of the mousse is made from avocado and banana (but don’t worry, you can’t taste either of these ingredients!) and is sweetened with maple syrup.

You could also use honey, date syrup or another liquid sweetener of your choice. And for children you can always add a little extra sweetener for their little taste buds.

If you try this recipe yourself please do let me know what you and your family think. Or tag me in a picture on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. I’d love to see your pictures and hearing your comments about the recipes.

    This is a great dessert! I’ve always like chocolate mousse but it can be a bit heavy but this is so light and as an added bonus it’s healthy! The mint makes it really fresh tasting as well.
