Instructions
CRUST INSTRUCTIONS
Soak pitted dates in hot water for 5 minutes then drain and discard date water.
In a food processor add ingredients in this order: dates, shredded coconut, gluten-free oats, watermelon seeds, spices, olive oil and liquid stevia.
Process and pulse until mixture is formed (about 5 minutes or more depending on the strength of your food processor).
Cut strips of parchment paper and put 1 strip into each singular muffin tin cup, about ½-inch wide making this crust easy to pull out once complete.
Add spoonfuls of mixture to a mini muffin tin. Flatten with your fingers so it fits into the mini muffin tin.
Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Once chilled, use your fingers to create a dip/cup in the center of the crust for the chocolate mousse, by pressing your fingers into the center and molding it to create a cup shape.
Chill again until you are ready to add the chocolate mousse.
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE INSTRUCTIONS
Add all Mousse ingredients to a food processor and process until creamy and smooth.
Taste it to make sure you are okay with the sweetness. If it’s too decadent, add more maple syrup. You can add up to 3 T.
Then add the mixture to a disposable pastry bag and pipe the mousse into the cups or just use a spoon.
Sprinkle with finely shredded coconut as a garnish.
Notes
Keep these no-bake cups in the fridge when not serving them. // Keeps for up to 3-4 days – avocado is perishable. // If you don’t know how to use a pastry bag, simply use a spoon to add the mousse. // If you are interested in buying a pastry bag, I like disposable ones you can throw away by Wilton. You don’t have to use a tip, you can cut the bottom of the bag on a diagonal to create a fake tip and pipe. See the pictures above for reference. Click HERE to buy a Wilton Pastry bag. //
