raw vegan Orangesicle Frosted Chocolate Mousse Parfait

~ raw, vegan, gluten-free ~

This morning I had some gorgeous avocados that needed to be eaten, far too many to consume in their natural state.  So I decided to whip up a double batch of this chocolate mousse.

I learned a lesson in doing that….two batches will overheat your blender, even a Blendtec!  I quickly split the mousse batter into the two containers that came with the blender and blended them separately.

Shew,  it always makes me nervous when my blender turns off all by itself and flashes “OVERHEATING!”  haha.  It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, my heart races a little bit.  Below I instruct how to use a food processor; you can use either/or…

Anyway,  I had some leftover Vanilla Lemon Frosting (minus the lemon), so I added some natural orange food coloring along with some orange extract to make an orangesicle flavor.  YUM!!  I used a large piping bag and tip to create the beautiful swirls.  It made it really easy to pipe into the glass.

 

Ingredients:

Pudding: Yields 2 cups

Frosting:

Preparation:

Pudding:

  1. In your food processor, using the “S” blade,  combine the dates, agave, and vanilla until nice and smooth.
  2. Add the mashed avocados and cacao powder.  Blend until nice and smooth, stopping the processor every once in a while to scrape the sides down.
  3. Add the water and blend until nice and creamy.
  4. The mousse will keep for 3-5 days in the fridge or 2 weeks in the freezer.
  5. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
  6. I piped some Orangesicle frosting in between layers of chocolate mousse.

Frosting:

  1. Add to blender all ingredients except the coconut oil and lecithin.  These will be added at the very end.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy (3-5 minutes)
  3. While your blender is running, drizzle in the coconut oil and then slowly add the lecithin.  Blend well but don’t over-process.
  4. Frosting will last 5-7 days in the fridge.  Do not freeze as it will change the consistency.

    This looks to die for! I am planning on going high raw in the near future, maybe Christmas time, so I’m always on your site trying to plan things out. :) So if your views peak sometimes, it’s probably because of me, haha.

    Oh, I tried your Spicy BBQ Sauce. That stuff is pure heaven! I’m actually going to make a post on it and show my picture sometime in the near future. I’ll let you know when I do, plus I’ll link to the original post, of course.

    Is there another choice for this recipe other than avacodas? I don’t really like the taste of avacodas.

      Dear Kathy,

      You can use 1 cup of cashews, be sure to then soak them for 2 + hours. Drain and discard the soak water. I will be honest in saying that you really don’t detect the avocado at all in this recipe. I too don’t care of avocados in sweet recipes so for me to say that… BUT I understand so you can try the cashews. I hope this helps. Have a great day, amie sue
