Roasted hazelnut and chocolate mousse (aka healthy N(o)tella cups)

Chocolate hazelnut nutella mousse - to her core

These little cups of creamy goodness are something special.

Chocolate. Roasted hazelnuts.

Soft, velvety texture.

Oh, and did I mention they were healthy?

 

Healthy chocolate and hazelnut mousse that tastes just like creamy cups of Nutella!

Okay, so maybe not healthy as in a kale salad washed down with some kombucha, but as far as desserts go – especially ones that taste this amazing – we’re talking pretty healthy.

If you aren’t convinced yet – and you should be – I might just leave the pictures to do the talking for me ;)

Roasted hazelnut and chocolate mousse (aka healthy N(o)tella cups)
 
Ingredients
  • Chocolate hazelnut mousse
  • ½ avocado
  • ⅔ cup coconut cream
  • 5 medjool dates
  • ⅔ c roasted hazelnuts
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • ⅔ cup chopped, peeled zucchini
  • 2 Tbsp cacao
  • Chocolate hazelnut sauce
  • 3 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 4 Tbsp hazelnut (or other nut) butter
  • 1 Tbsp cacao
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
  1. To roast the hazelnuts, preheat oven to 180 C | 350 F and place hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes until they are starting to brown and your kitchen is filled with a lovely roasted hazelnut aroma. Allow to cool, and then place in a clean tea towel and rub lightly to remove the skins.
  2. Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and process until rich and creamy.
  3. Divide up between 3 or 4 cups and place in the fridge for at least half an hour before serving.
  4. To make the sauce, add all ingredients to a small saucepan and heat over low heat until combined and mostly smooth (the texture will still be slightly grainy from the hazelnut butter)
  5. To serve, remove the chilled mousse cups from the fridge and drizzle a spoonful or two of the chocolate sauce over each.

    Yep, this looks pretty damn luxurious, so much so that healthy I’m sure would be an after-thought while eating it. ;-) I love the hazelnut chocolate sauce especially. Coincidentally I was planning to post a chocolate mousse sometime in the near future, as it is one of the healthy treat secrets I think everyone should have in their back pocket and that I plan to share in my workshop as well.
