- 24Oreoscrumbled
Chocolate Avocado Mousse (Dirt) Ingredients
- 3largeRipe Avocados
- 6ozdark chocolatemelted
- ⅓cupunsweetened cocoa powder
- ½cupalmond milk
- ½cupmaple syrup
- 1tspvanilla extract
- ½tspsea salt
- 6ozwhite baking chocolatemelted
- McCormick Color From Nature Food Coloring (red and yellow)
- 6pcsfresh strawberries
Instructions
To Make The “Dirt”
-
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process for 1 minute, or until completely smooth. If you would like a thinner mousse, feel free to add in a few extra tablespoons of almond milk. Stir in about ⅔ of the crumbled Oreo mixture until combined, reserving the rest for the “dirt” topping.
To Make The “Carrots”
-
Combine melted chocolate and food coloring together in a small bowl, and stir until your desired color is reached. (Heads up — you’ll need more yellow than red food coloring!) Then one by one, dip the strawberries in the chocolate until they are covered, and place them on a sheet of parchment paper to cool. Once all of the strawberries have been dunked, use a fork (or transfer the remaining chocolate to a piping bag) to drizzle little carrot-like lines across the strawberries. Let cool until the chocolate is completely hardened.
To Assemble
-
Portion the “dirt” mousse mixture evenly between your serving cups. Sprinkle the remaining crumbled Oreos evenly on top of each cup. Then top with a “carrot”.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy!
-
If you’d like to prep these in advance, you can refrigerate the mousse mixture and the carrots in sealed containers for up to 2 days. Then assemble just before serving.
