This easy warm weather dessert is the perfect treat "for two"! I whip avocado, melted coconut oil, fresh lime juice, maple syrup, and a dash of pink salt into a creamy, luxurious "key lime" flavoured mousse. After chilling, simply layer it into a parfait or add to a bowl and top with crushed graham crackers, Coconut Whipped Cream, and more lime.

Ingredients:

For the avocado mousse:
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) virgin coconut oil, melted
  • 1 cup (165 g) packed avocado
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lime juice, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) pure maple syrup, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon (15 mL) non-dairy milk
  • Dash fine sea salt
For the parfaits:

Directions:

  1. Melt the coconut oil in a small pot over low heat.
  2. Add the melted oil into the food processor along with the avocado, lime zest, lime juice, maple syrup, and salt into the processor. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed.
  3. Chill the avocado mousse, covered, for about 2 hours. The pudding will thicken a bit while chilling.
  4. After chilling, use an electric mixer (with the whisk attachment) and whip the mousse until creamy.
  5. Grab some parfait glasses (or bowls) and layer the mousse, graham cracker crumbs, coconut whipped cream, and a lime slice on top, if desired.
