B”H

Shavua Tov friends! If you’re visiting from Florence & Isabelle, welcome! Have I got a culinary surprise for you today! During Sukkot, we were invited for lunch at our friend’s Sukkah, and for dessert she served an amazingly decadent and refreshing Chocolate Mousse. Topped with pomegranate seeds, the mousse was heaven! After my kids finished seconds, I said to Rosanna, “I need this recipe!”

¡Shavua Tov, amigas! Si vinieron referidas por Florence & Isabelle, ¡bienvenidas! ¡Hoy les tengo una sorpresa culinaria! Durante Sukkot almorzamos en la Suká de unas amistades y de postre nuestra amiga sirvió un mousse de chocolate decadente. Con semillas de granadina, frio, perfecto para el clima caliente de Sukot (bueno, en Houston). ¡De-li-cioso! Después de que estábamos disfrutando del postre y mis hijos ya se habían servido una segunda vez, dije, “Rosanna, necesito esta receta.”

Was I in for a shocking surprise! This seemingly decadent mousse is made out of … are you ready for this? Avocado! “What!?” I should have guessed, because not only is my friend Rosanna a nutritionist, but all of her cooking is gourmet. Thank G-d she revealed the secret while my kids were off playing, because I’m not so sure they would have allowed me to make this later at home, had they heard the secret ingredient haha!

Bueno, que si me pegué una sorpresa. El aparentemente decadente mousse esta hecho de… ¿están listas para esto? ¡Aguacates! “¿¡Qué!? Debí haberlo adivinado, puesto que mi amiga Rosanna, no sólo es nutricionista, sino que toda su cocina es gourmet. Gracias a Di-s que me reveló el ingrediente secreto cuando ya mis hijos habían salido de la Suká y estaban felices jugando por otro lado. De haber escuchado cual es el ingrediente secreto, no me hubieran dejando hacer este postre en casa jajaja.

During Chol HaMoed (the Intermediate days of Yom Tov), I went ahead and tried to replicate her chocolate decadence. I didn’t have pomegranates, nor raspberries, so I went ahead and garnished it with strawberries. You could also use kiwi. Or, just indulge as is … after all, the only fruit you really need is the avocado! :-).

Durante jol hamoed (los dias intermedios de Yom Tov), aproveché y traté de replicar la receta. No tenía granadinas, ni frambuesas, así es que lo serví con fresas. Me supongo que con kiwi también iría super. Y sólo igual, pues al final toda la fruta que necesitamos es el aguacate ;-). (¿Ya sabían que el aguacate es una fruta, no?)

Rosanna had already told me that she played around with a few recipes, and I did the same until I came up with this.

Rosanna ya me había dicho que tuvo que jugar un poco con varias recetas, así que luego de que me las envió, hice lo mismo, y este fue el resultado.

Ingredients:

2 large ripe avocados
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup cocoa powder (100% cacao)
2 Tbs coconut oil
3 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp sea salt

Procedure:

Scoop the avocado and place in the food processor along with all the other ingredients. Process until creamy and smooth. Enjoy! The coconut oil and sea salt really help to take away the avocado taste, and you end up with an awesome chocolate tasting mousse. Keep chilled in the refrigerator. Apparently, it lasts for up to three days in the fridge. I wouldn’t know. Each batch I’ve made has disappeared in a day. :-)

Ingredientes:
2 aguacates maduros grandes
1/2 taza de miel de maple (maple syrup)
1/2 taza de chocolate en polvo (100% cacao)
2 Cdas aceite de coco
3 cdtas de extracto de vainilla
1/4 cdta de sal marina

Procedimiento:
Sacar el interior del aguacate y poner en la procesadora de alimentos. Disponer de la pepa y cascara. Añadir el resto de los ingredientes y procesar hasta que esté suave y cremoso. El aceite de coco y la sal marina verdaderamente hacen que se vaya el sabor a aguacate y lo que se siente es el delicioso sabor a chocolate. Guardar en la nevera. Aparentemente dura hasta tres días en la nevera, pero la verdad es que no les puedo decir, por que cada vez que lo he hecho, ya en un día todo el mousse ha desaparecido de la nevera ;-)

The original sources that my friend gave me are here and here.  I tweaked the recipes until I came up with the above. I hope you are able to try it, and love it as much as we do.

Las dos recetas originales, las cuales adapté y terminé con las que le pase hoy, están aquí y aquí. Espero que puedan probarlo y que les guste tanto como a nosotros. 

And just in case you don’t believe that your kids will go for this… :-)

Y en caso de que no me crean que sus hijos si se lo van a comer… :-)

Just don’t tell the kids your secret ;-).

Sólo no le digan a los chicos el secreto ;-).

Have a lovely and healthy week, my dears!

Que tengan una linda semana llena de salud, mis amigas.

    Yael is a delight! My interview with her for Jewish Latin Princess was like talking to an old friend. Her questions are thought-provoking, insightful and generous. Her warm approach allowed me to be myself, and I loved having the opportunity to share my story in such an engaging way.

    I loved being part of your podcast, I had no idea what to expect and it was refreshing as a Jewish woman to participate in your podcast. Your questions related to what I do, combined with Judaism gave me a lot to think about. I love getting new questions instead of the typical “why did you start the project?” which is important but I’m glad you gave it a twist. I hope your listeners enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed being part of it! Thanks for challenging me to think about my topic and religion as one.
