Ashley & Co's Choc Banana Mousse with Nutty Crumb

Ingredients

Mousse

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 bananas
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • ¼ tsp salt

Nutty Crumb

  • ½ cup macadamia nuts
  • ¼ cup almonds
  • ¼ cup hazelnuts
  • ¾ cup coconut thread
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Before you start, preheat oven to 180°C.
  • Combine all mousse ingredients together in a blender and blend for about 1 minute, until smooth and mousse-like in consistency. Transfer to a bowl, cover and place in the fridge for about 1 hour to set.
  • Place macadamias, almonds, hazelnuts and coconut thread in a blender and pulse a couple of times, until nuts have been roughly chopped. Melt coconut oil in a large heat-proof bowl in the microwave. Once melted, add maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Add nuts and toss to coat.
  • Transfer mixture to a lined oven tray and bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • Serve mousse with nutty crumb.
