Mocha Praline Mousse
Weight LossGuilt FreeLuscious Low-Cal Treats
Light, creamy and decadent. Mocha Praline Mousse is a healthy, low-cal treat that chocolate and coffee lovers will enjoy.
Chocolate Mousse:
| ricotta cheese, plain, low-fat | 300 g |
| yoghurt, chobani, low-fat, vanilla | 400 g |
| soy milk, light | 2 tbsp |
| chocolate essence | tsp |
| cocoa powder | 1 tsp |
| protein powder, chocolate | 1 scoop (30g) |
| black chia seeds | 1 tbsp |
| chocolate, dark, grated | 1 tbsp |
Mocha Syrup:
| honey or maple syrup | 1 tbsp |
| cocoa powder | 1 tsp |
| cold water | 3 tbsp |
| coffee, instant, ground | tsp |
| vanilla essence | tsp |
Almond Praline Shards:
| stevia, granulated, (natural sweetener) | 4 tbsp |
| cold water | 3 tbsp |
| almonds, flaked | 1 tbsp |
Almond Praline Shards: Arrange slivered / flaked almonds in a thin layer onto a lined baking tray. Set aside. In a small saucepan, combine sweetener and water and stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Increase heat to medium and let mixture boil without stirring for 2-3 minutes or until it has turned to a pale golden colour. (Watch closely, as it can turn dark very quickly.)
When golden, remove saucepan from heat. Set aside for 2 mins to allow the bubbles to subside. Pour mixture over almonds and leave to set in the fridge. When set, break into shards.
Mocha Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine water, maple syrup, cocoa powder, coffee and vanilla essence; bring to the boil. Stir frequently. Remove from heat; pour into a small jug and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Chocolate Mousse: In a blender combine ricotta cheese, yogurt, milk, chia seeds, chocolate essence, protein powder and cocoa powder. Process until smooth. Spoon mousse into small serving jars / glasses or bowls. Top with mocha syrup, a little grated chocolate and Almond Praline Shards on top.
TCB Tips:
- The chia seeds, when added to the mousse will swell, giving it extra texture and flavour.
- I suggest refrigerating the mousse for 20-30 minutes before serving. This allows the mousse to set nicely and thicken up.
- Don't over blend the mousse as this will make the mousse runny.
