Avocado Milk Chocolate Mousse Tartlets

Labels: { Chocolate, Fruit, Pastries and Pies }

A decadently rich and irresistibly creamy avocado chocolate mousse on a oat-nut-date base that is not only delicious, also very healthy. The secret ingredient for the mousse is the heart-healthy avocado which has a creamy nutty flavour that works well with chocolate. If you have a milk allergy, substitute milk chocolate with dark one.

Crust	Filling
3 tbsp Orange juice 50 g Oat flakes 80 g Dried dates 50 g Almonds 2 tsp Cocoa powder	2 Ripe avocados, pitted and peeled 100 g Milk chocolate, cut into smaller pieces 1-2 tbsp Coconut oil, melted 1 tsp Lime juice 1 tbsp Maple syrup 1 tsp Vanilla extract Pinch of ses salt

Mix 2 tablespoons of orange juice with oats. Quarter the dried dates. Pulse dates and almonds in a food processor until they turn into crumbs. Add in 1 tablespoon of orange juice. Mix the almond-date-mixture with oats and cocoa powder. Press into three 12-cm tartlet moulds and put in the fridge.
Place the chopped chocolate in a small bowl. Place over a small saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Using a food processor, blend the melted milk chocolate, melted coconut oil, avocados, lime juice, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
Divide the mousse into tartlet cases and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Grate some milk chocolate over and arrange some avocado slices or fresh berries atop.

Bel | Ooh, Look... 18/1/14 11:27: This reminds me of chocolate tofu mousse - who would think that something as unlikely as avocado would go so well in a dessert? Love it!

Sam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchen 18/1/14 12:06: Your tarts are fabulously beautiful Angie. I imagine the creaminess of the avocado would be divine with the chocolate and as you say, very healthy too. Hope you are having a lovely weekend.

Paula @ Vintage Kitchen Notes 18/1/14 12:07: I like the idea of milk chocolate, since it's usually paired with dark, the avocado. And oat with dates in the crust? Love it!

Unknown 18/1/14 16:40: Angie, that looks lovely
Eva Taylor 18/1/14 18:00: One of our customers back at the design firm is making the very first allergen free chocolate (in North America, at least) and they are going to be launching baking chocolate too! How exciting for those with extreme allergies or intolerance's! I've noticed that avocado is often used as the cream in allergen free baking, particularly with chocolate (it covers up the rather unique flavour the avocado has). Of course, this recipe with nuts in the crust probably couldn't be called allergen free but it is lovely non-the-less. I'm sure it tastes and feels as decadent as it looks.

Betty 25/1/14 05:13: Avocado and chocolate...two of my favorite foods in one delightful dish! I love that these tartlets are so full of healthful ingredients, especially since I have them all in my kitchen right now. :)
eatgood4life.blogspot.com 25/1/14 16:42: I am loving anything avocado lately. Never thought of incorporating it into a tart. This one must taste amazing. What a healthy option for a sweet tart. Pinning this one for sure to make soon.
sprinklesandsauce 25/1/14 22:52: This tartlet looks delicious!
Unknown 27/1/14 19:05: My family still can't grasp the concept of sweet avocado. I guess they're used to guacamole type avocado dish, where it needs to be sour/savory, but not sweet. But I grew up in Indonesia, and sweet avocado is always the way to go (I don't know anybody who doesn't like avocado smoothie growing up).
I love the idea of incorporating it into tart filing, it sounds heavenly!
OTT, where did you get those lovely colorful mini tart pans? I want them!
Geri Saucier 28/1/14 21:13: Oh, I love these tarts. Avocado and chocolate. Delicious - I see me making these tarts in the near future.

Kelly Mulcair Registered Nutritionist. Content © 2011 Trinity Nutrition. 1/2/14 08:37: Just beautiful Angie. I love avocado mousse and your crust sounds equally delicious -- great use of ingredients as always!
Monica 3/2/14 04:17: Wow! I'm usually a bit wary of desserts that include avocado without a whole bunch of dark chocolate to disguise it but this tart was so eye-catching. It sounds lovely too so will have to grow a pair one day and give it a try :)
