(Recipe) Creamy Chocolate Mousse

As the days get shorter and the Dutch autumn weather turns cooler, there’s nothing quite like a comforting chocolate treat. This creamy chocolate mousse feels wonderfully indulgent, yet is made with simple, wholesome ingredients such as sweet potato, banana and coconut milk.

Rich, smooth and full of chocolate flavour, it’s perfect as an easy autumn dessert or a little treat with a warm cup of tea.

Ingredients

400 g sweet potato, cooked and cooled
200 ml coconut milk
2 ripe bananas
5–6 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla powder
A splash of milk or unsweetened almond milk
Optional: maple syrup, to taste

Method

Add the cooled sweet potato, coconut milk, bananas, cocoa powder and vanilla to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add a splash of milk or almond milk if you prefer a softer consistency.
Taste the mousse. If you would like it a little sweeter, add a small amount of maple syrup and blend again.
Divide the chocolate mousse between four small bowls or glasses.
Finish with your favourite topping, such as shredded coconut, fresh fruit, berries or a little grated dark chocolate.

For an extra autumn touch, sprinkle with a little cinnamon or add some chopped roasted nuts on top.

Enjoy!
