Ingredients

1/2 cup buckwheaties (sprouted, dehydrated buckwheat)
2 Medjool dates
5 tablespoons orange juice (freshly squeezed)
1/2 ripe avocado
7 tablespoons carob
1 teaspoon orange zest (from about 1 orange)

Recipe Directions

BASES

1. Process half of the buckwheaties into a fine powder in the mini processor.

2. Place the processed buckwheaties, along with the whole buckwheaties, into a small bowl. Sieve 4 tablespoons of the carob into the bowl.

3. Place a Medjool date and 4 tablespoons of orange juice into the mini processor and process until you have a syrup.

4. Pour the syrup into the bowl with the buckwheaties and carob and mix really well until you have a thick dough that sticks together when you press it.

5. Form the mixture into 6 bases using a 2-inch biscuit cutter as a mold.

TOPPING

6. Place the other Medjool date and 1 tablespoon orange juice into the mini processor and process until you have a syrup.

7. Scoop out the avocado and put into a bowl, along with the date syrup, 3 tablespoons sieved carob, and ¾ teaspoon orange zest.

8. Mash the avocado into the other ingredients, combining well until you have a smooth chocolately mousse.

9. Spoon the mousse onto the buckwheat bases and top with the remaining orange zest.

Pathlesstrodden's Thoughts

By pathlesstrodden

I created this dessert specially for a recent raw food demonstration and lunch. My guinea pigs loved it!

They were even more amazed to try a dessert made from avocado.

This healthy fruit, rich in natural oils, gives a perfect way to make an easy raw-vegan mousse. I combined it with a crunchy buckwheat base to provide a rich, smooth, couple of bite-size desserts. Enjoy!

If you don’t have buckwheaties, you could try making the base with oats or ground almonds/sunflower seeds.

I have never tried chocolate with orange mousse. The recipe looks very different, I would love to try it.I think the use of orange will give a good taste to it.
