Avocado Chocolate Mousse Parfaits with Graham Cracker Crust
Because the honey grahams are already sweet, I used less maple syrup (6 tablespoons). If you want a mousse that is sweeter, add another tablespoon of maple syrup, but I wouldn't add any more than that.
Prep Time1 hourhr15 minutesmins
Ingredients
2ripe medium avocados, about 410g
1/2cup(50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
6 to 7tablespoonsmaple syrup
1/4cup(60ml) low-fat milk
2teaspoonspure vanilla extract
1cupPamela’s Mini Honey Grahams, about a small handful
6 to 7medium strawberries, hulled and sliced
Instructions
Cut open avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh out of the avocado and add to a food processor. Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, milk and vanilla extract. I used 6 tablespoons of maple syrup, but you can add another tablespoon if you want a sweeter mousse. Blend until smooth.
Scoop mousse into a container and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour. The refrigeration helps thicken the mousse.
Add mini grahams into a sandwich bag and seal it. Crush the graham crackers by using a rolling pin or a glass.
Assemble the parfaits by adding 2 tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs into a cup. Alternate with layers of chocolate mousse, sliced strawberries and graham cracker crumbs to build the parfait.
Serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days.
