Chocolate Mousse Surprise || Mousse de Chocolate (Sorpresa)

October 12, 2015 by Yael Leave a Comment

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.

  • Michelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear FacerMichelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear Facer

    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.

    Yael is a gifted and intuitive writer. So impressed was our staff, that the Jewish Herald-Voice offered her a monthly column, "Defining Jewish Women." We have received only positive feedback and our readers look forward to the third Thursday of every month. In between, I personally follow her blog and gain much insight into myself through her words and emotions.

  • Gila SimchaGila Simcha

    What a treat to hear Yael speak at the Jewish Women's Retreat in San Antonio. Her presentation, "Mi Casa es Su Casa, The Kabbalah of the Home" inspired me to express my Judaism in a way that speaks to my creative side and love of all things chic without compromising my true self and style. I'm so glad I got the chance to hear her message of creativity and Torah. Bravo!

  • Sandy FrydbergSandy Frydberg

    I enjoyed your presentation very much. Your way of presenting material is your strongest asset. You are organized, friendly and approachable, and you speak beautifully, including when you incorporated Jewish teachings in Hebrew. I would be happy to learn from you as you make it fun and interesting.

  • Tina GrossTina Gross

  • Shoshana BonnShoshana Bonn

    I am writing to share how much I enjoyed your presentation on the kabbalah of home at the 55th N'shei Chabad convention in San Antonio, Texas. Your vivacious speaking style, the clarity with which you made your points, and your warmth toward your audience made this one of the best breakout sessions I attended. You offered both depth of Jewish knowledge and perspective on how this applied to people's individual situations. I look forward to my next opportunity to hear you speak.

    Yael y JLP son muy especiales para mi. Fue gracias a JLP que me di la oportunidad de intentar nuevamente preparar Challah para mi familia - desde que JLP publico la Challah que nunca falla en nuestra mesa hay hermosas y deliciosas Challah todos los Shabbat y en las festividades. Soy una foodie así que no me pierdo las recetas que publica y hasta ahora han sido un éxito total, sin contar que me inspira la bellísima presentación de los platos y como presentar una hermosa,  sencilla y a la vez elegante mesa para nuestra familia e invitados.

  • Miranda HurwitzMiranda Hurwitz

    In preparation for my wedding, I had the opportunity to learn with Yael. Creativity aside, she is a wealth of knowledge, both passionate and practical, about what she teaches and how she teaches it. I'm also proud to say that through our experience together she has become a great friend and is someone that I can I always talk to.

  • Melinda SilberMelinda Silber
    Yael can be defined as “refreshing inspiration.” She is well-versed in an array of topics from Jewish femininity to design details. Every time I hear her at a speaking engagement or in passing conversation, she always brings an awareness of Jewish femininity to the forefront, constantly reminding women of their spiritual role and importance in ‘everyday’ things. I was thrilled that she passed this concept on, along with her deep knowledge of Judaism, to my daughter during their Bat Mitzvah lessons together. Yael always rises to the occasion (no pun intended) with her eye for design and attention to details. Her subtle palette, creativity and organizational skills are her recipe to success!
  • Vanesa KreindelVanesa Kreindel

    Estoy inmensamente feliz de haber conocido a Yael. En ella no solo encontré una persona con inmenso talento, sino que también encontré una gran amiga que abre su corazón y te contagia su alegría, creatividad y armonía. Me fascina leer su blog - en el siempre encuentro algún nuevo “tip” y también disfruto muchísimo de las clases de mujeres que nos da mensualmente.

    My daughter Stav had her Bat Mitzvah a few months ago.  I wanted Stav to go into her 'Bat Mitzvah' understanding the meaning of the term, and with the knowledge of how to apply it to her life. Even though she learns in a Jewish Orthodox school, I felt that she needed extra learning and inspiration for her coming of age.  Luckily, I knew Yael from before, and heard that she teaches Bat Mitzvah classes.  I had a feeling that this would be a good match... I wasn't wrong :)

    Yael teaches ancient ideas in a modern way.  Stav came back from classes inspired, thinking and asking herself questions.  I'm thankful that my daughter had the opportunity to learn with Yael for her Bat Mitzvah in a interesting, welcoming and inspiring way.

  • Kayla WarrenKayla Warren

    Yael has creativity, vision, and energy, and she uses them all to the fullest for her clients. She came up with the color scheme, all the accessories, the overall “look” of the day, and I just happily and gratefully followed along. But I don’t want you to think it’s only what Yael wants, Yael does. She asked me for input every step of the way. She always checked in with me about what she was buying, what she thought we should have at the party, and she was always conscious of budget. I wanted everything she suggested, but I know that if there had been anything I wasn’t keen to have, she would have changed it until she found something that I loved. She wanted my daughter and me to be happy with everything. We weren’t happy – that’s too meager a word – we were elated!!! Working with Yael was such a pleasant and joyful experience. And those are two words I don’t use lightly when it comes to describing planning an event.

  • Elisheva GolaniElisheva Golani

    Yael helped me style my son's upshernish as well as my living room. She is wonderful to work with! She is talented and extremely organized which is super helpful! She has an incredible eye and knows how to beautify absolutely anything!
