Lemon and lime avocado mousse recipe
If you’re not a huge fan of avocados we hope this delicious lemon and lime avocado mousse recipe will instill a new-found love for this superfood. Avocados are one of the few ingredients that contain pretty much every single nutrient we need for survival. They’re absolutely brilliant for your skin, hair and nails and they’re crammed full of healthy fats and energy. If you’re not keen on adding avocado to your blended green drinks and don’t enjoy the taste of guacamole this recipe might just convert you. The addition of lemon and lime and added sweetness of honey completely disguises its taste.
Ingredients (serves 1)
For the mousse
1 avocado
Juice and zest of half a lemon
Juice and zest of half a lime
2tbsp melted coconut oil
1-2tbsp honey
For the base
2tbsp chopped dried dates
2tbsp melted coconut oil
Flat tsp cacao powder
2tbsp chopped mixed nuts or trail mix
Plus
Raspberries / passion fruit / trail mix to decorate
Method
Blitz the avocado, lemon juice, lime juice, zest and coconut oil together. Add a tablespoon of honey and blend again. Check to see if your mousse is sweet enough. You may need to add more honey depending on the size of avocado.
Whizz the base mixture ingredients together. I like mine chunky so I tend to pulse the mixture for a minute only.
Layer the base mixture into a glass. Spoon on the lime mousse, then add fresh fruit and trail mix to decorate.
