Almond mousse – a healthy and delicious dessert for the whole family

Almond mousse is one of the most popular desserts enjoyed by both children and adults. It’s made from milk, chocolate, cream, and fruit or berry purée. Each variation has its own unique and delightful flavor.

Fans of rich, creamy aromas will especially enjoy almond mousse with a twist — made not only with crushed almonds but also with raw almond oil. This dessert melts in your mouth and its aroma can win over even those who don’t usually have a sweet tooth. Plus, almond mousse is a truly healthy dessert.

Almonds and almond oil are packed with minerals, essential fatty acids, and vitamins. Just 100 grams of almonds provide 65% of the recommended daily intake of phosphorus, 67% of magnesium, 99% of manganese, along with zinc, calcium, and potassium. They are also rich in vitamin C, vitamin E (tocopherol), and the rare vitamin H (biotin).

Regular consumption of almonds and cold-pressed almond oil supports women’s hormonal balance, helps regulate blood pressure, and boosts brain function and memory.

Ingredients for creamy, aromatic almond mousse (melts in your mouth)

To prepare the mousse you need:

• 500 ml of heavy cream;
• 1 packet of vanilla;
• ½ tsp salt;
• 4 egg whites;
• 120 g sugar;
• 25 g dark chocolate (about ¼ of a bar);
• 125 g raw almond oil;
• 6–7 whole almonds;

Step-by-step instructions

Lightly crush the almonds in a mortar. Beat the egg whites with the salt and vanilla until a thick, white foam forms. Gradually add the cream and sugar, and mix thoroughly.

Melt the chocolate using a water bath or microwave (on defrost mode), then combine it with the almond oil.

Gently fold the cream-egg mixture into the chocolate-oil blend. Whip the mixture until it thickens.

Pour into serving dishes (ramekins or dessert bowls work great), and refrigerate for 30–40 minutes.

Before serving, sprinkle with crushed almonds for garnish.

Note:

You can also decorate the mousse with crushed walnuts, other nuts, or chocolate shavings. A wide selection of tasty, eco-friendly, and certified organic seeds, nuts, and cold-pressed oils is available from CraftOil — a Ukrainian brand specializing in natural foods and oil pressing equipment.
