Chocolate mousse + chia parfait



I was inspired by Chiachild's blog to make a decadent yet simple raw cacao mousse. Using only 3 ingredients it is healthy, incredibly delicious, and SO easy to make. For breakfast on Saturday I layered it with almond milk soaked chia pudding, plus pomegranate seeds and cacao nibs. Let me tell you, eating this was like taking in the nectar of the gods. A fabulous way to start the weekend and I can't wait to serve it as a dessert too! This recipe is a keeper.







Raw cacao mousse

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/3 cup good quality raw cacao powder 
  • food processor

Pulse all ingredients in a food processor till well mixed and silky smooth. You might wanna double this recipe because you'll definitely want to eat more!


Spiced chia pudding with maca
Single serving


  • 3 Tb chia seeds
  • 1 cup almond milk (homemade is best!)
  • Sprinkling of cinnamon + cardamom
  • 1 Tb maca (optional)
  • 1 ts. vitamineral earth (optional)

Stir all ingredients together in a bowl and let sit half an hour or overnight while the chia soaks up all the liquid. Its that simple!



For the parfait choose a pretty glass and carefully (well not that carefully) spoon in alternating layers of mousse and chia pudding. Sprinkle in some cacao nibs and pomegranate seeds between the layers and save some for the top. Eat it with your favorite spoon!
