Healthy Sweet Potato Chocolate Mousse
Since I have more than one chocolate lover at home (starting with myself 😉), I try to find various ways to satisfy that craving while also incorporating something that will make not only our taste buds happy but also our body cells. This is one of these ideas. 🙂
Equipment
- Blender or
- Immersion Blender
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 5 tablespoons tahini
- 6-8 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder
- 8-10 dates Deglet Nour
- 1 teaspoon powdered vanilla
- shredded coconut for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces, and steam them.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, peel off the skin (or consider leaving it for health benefits) and transfer them to a container suitable for an immersion blender or to a blender.
- Add all the remaining ingredients except for shredded coconut. Adjust the amount of cocoa and dates to your own taste. If you want a more chocolatey flavour, add more cocoa, and if you prefer it sweeter, add more dates.
- Blend everything well with an immersion blender or a regular blender until you achieve a creamy texture.
- Pour into glasses or small bowls and sprinkle coconut on top.
Tips and Info
This mousse can be served warm or cold. Keep in mind that the sweetness is more pronounced when mousse is cold.
