🥄Desserts on Spoons

I saw a similar desserts on spoons at an event earlier this year and fell in love with them! But I decided I'd make them healthier by using a chocolate avocado mousse, fresh strawberries, dark chocolate and coconut. I love how these spoon size desserts give you that sweet satisfaction, but with only a little indulgence!

That's what's so great about mini desserts- you get your dessert fix but can still stay on track with your health goals and they still satisfy. They are only 3 Weight Watchers smart points (blue plan) each and worth every single delicious point!

🥑Health benefits of avocados

Avocados are healthy, but they are not necessarily low-fat. But fat is not a bad thing here -avocados have 160 calories and 15 grams of healthy fats. And although they contains 9 grams of carbs, 7 of those are fiber, so there are only 2 "net" carbs, making this a low-carb friendly plant food. You can read more about the health benefits of avocados HERE. 

Avocado chocolate mousse is simply made with avocado, milk, cocoa, almond extract and sweetener. In this recipe I use agave, as it's a natural, unrefined sweetener. Agave is sweeter than table sugar, rich in fructose and also slightly higher in carbs (with 5 grams per teaspoon vs. 4 grams in table sugar.) But because agave tastes a hint sweeter, you might be able to use a little less to get the same amount of sweetness. You can read more about agave HERE.

🥘 Ingredients

For this recipe, you'll need:

  • avocado
  • agave 
  • cocoa powder
  • vanilla
  • milk
  • almond extract
  • strawberries
  • dark chocolate bar
  • unsweetened coconut
2 Healthy Valentine's Day Desserts on spoons crossed over each other with a whole strawberry in the middle

🔪 Instructions

Make the mousse: Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh and put into a small blender or food processor. Add the agave, cocoa powder, vanilla, milk and almond extract. Blend until very smooth.

Assembly

  1. Cut 7 strawberries in half and put ½ a strawberry (sliced side up with stem) on bottom of spoon.
  2. Fill a pastry bag, fitted with a IM tip full of avocado chocolate mousse. Pipe a dollop of mousse onto each strawberry half (as you would onto a cupcake) SEE VIDEO in NOTES * If you don't have a piping bag and tip, you can use a ziplock bag (just cut off one corner) and pipe the mousse in a circular motion.
  3. Cut each square of chocolate in half. Add a half piece of chocolate to each strawberry spoon.
  4. Remove remaining strawberry stems and finely chop strawberries, then sprinkle a few pieces on top of mousse, placing in front of chocolate bar piece. Garnish with sprinkles of coconut (on top) and whole strawberries on the plate.

🍽 Equipment

Spoons: I purchased the plastic spoons in the photos at a local Dollar/Party store. You could also use small raman/asian soup spoons or any small porcelain spoon.

📖 Variations & Substitutions

Agave - you can substitute liquid honey, but you'll need to double the amount

Dairy-free- you can make this dairy-free by using a dairy-free milk like almond or soy milk

Valentine's Day is all about chocolate and strawberries, so this bite sized dessert is a great way to enjoy both without falling off the wagon.

    These Avocado Chocolate mousse mini desserts are adorable, Terri! I happen to have a collection of ceramic spoons too, so I will be sure to pin this recipe to try. I appreciate that it could be made dairy free too with a non-dairy milk substitute. Thanks for sharing.
