Claire Ptak’s Avocado Mousse

Happy New Year!

It’s January… the time of year where we all commit to a revised (and better!) version of ourselves, for a few weeks at least.

Claire Pkat’s chocolate avocado mousse recipe is diet-friendly, vegan and free of processed sugar, since it’s sweetened with pure maple syrup from Canada. It’s therefore the perfect dessert option if you’re doing Veganuary, or have simply committed to making healthier food choices this month.

If you’re a peanut butter fan, Claire’s chocolate, peanut butter and date slab is another healthier option to satisfy your sweet tooth this January!

Both recipes are in The Guardian – find them here.

Maple syrup can be used as a sugar substitute in most recipes

In cake and most dessert recipes, for each 250ml (1 cup) of syrup used, simply reduce the stipulated amount of liquid (water, milk, juice, etc.) by 60ml (1/4 cup).
