What makes this dessert special is the fresh flavour of the mousse combined with the crunchy bite of the crumble. The mousse has a lovely creamy texture thanks to the avocado and coconut oil. The lime and maple syrup in this recipe create a beautiful sweet-sour flavour balance.

Ingredients

3 ripe avocados
juice of 4 limes & 2 teaspoons zest
75 ml coconut oil (melted)
100 ml maple syrup

Topping

100 g pecan nuts
25 g desiccated coconut
50 g honey

Method

Cut the avocado into pieces. Place the avocado, lime juice and zest, coconut oil and maple syrup in the blender and blend for 1 minute on a medium setting until smooth. Taste whether the mousse is sweet and sour enough; add extra maple syrup or lime zest if needed. Spoon the mousse into glasses and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees and line a baking tray with baking paper. Roughly chop the pecan nuts, mix in a bowl with the desiccated coconut and honey. Spread over the baking tray and roast for 10 minutes in the oven. Leave to cool and break into pieces. Garnish the mousse with the crunchy pecan nuts and raspberries.
