This lusciously layered pumpkin chocolate mousse makes the most delicious dessert for fall and winter entertaining. It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free, vegan, and sweetened with a bit of pure maple syrup. But what I love most about it is how packed with nutrients it is!
It consists of 2 layers. The bottom is a chia pudding made with pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spices, which is blended for a smooth and creamy consistency. If you don’t have a blender, you can mix the ingredients with a whisk until evenly incorporated and wait 10-15 minutes for the chia seeds to gel.
The second layer is the healthiest chocolate mousse, made with avocado, pumpkin puree, raw cacao powder, and Detox Organics* Chocolate Superfood Powder. Detox Organics is a blend of 25 organic superfoods such as wheatgrass powder, barley grass powder, chlorella, spirulina, broccoli leaf, turmeric root powder, etc. that support the body’s natural detoxification process. It helps to regulate bowel movements (which I have definitely noticed when traveling), ease digestion, reduce bloating, and diminish inflammation. Best of all, it tastes like chocolate; so not only can you enjoy it mixed with water to drink on its own; but you can also add it to your chocolate desserts for an extra dose of nutrients.
Make sure to try it while pumpkin season lasts! You will not regret it 😉 I’d love to hear your thoughts, so please leave a comment below or tag me on your photos @nutriholist #nutriholist on Instagram or Facebook. XO
