Healthy Chocolate Mousse Recipe!

Hello bloggers!

A chocolate mousse recipe without the guilt? This version is lighter on the cals but still heavy on the comfort. Enjoy!


Ingredients:
100g dark chocolate, plus extra to decorate
1 tbsp. agave syrup
6 large free-range egg whites
30g caster sugar


Method:

1. Gently melt the chocolate with the agave in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (don’t let the water touch the bowl), stirring occasionally. It should take about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

2. Meanwhile, whisk the egg whites in a large mixing bowl until they form stiff peaks. Whisk in the sugar until the egg whites become glossy. Fold a little of the whisked egg white into the cooled chocolate mixture to loosen. Fold the remaining egg whites into the chocolate mixture, little by little, taking care not to knock out the air. Divide among 6 glasses (about 60g each), then chill for at least 30 minutes.

3.  Serve the chilled mousses topped with extra flakes of dark chocolate.



❤ Yummy! A delicious chocolate mousse which you can enjoy without worrying about all the calories! ❤

Healthy Pomegranate Sorbet Recipe!

Hello bloggers!

This is a light way to round off a rich, pasta dinner, or any dinner for that matter! Enjoy!


Ingredients:
200g caster sugar
½ cinnamon stick
1 tbsp. pomegranate molasses
Juice of about 6 pomegranates, or 600ml pomegranate juice, plus extra pomegranate seeds to decorate
2 large free-range egg whites


Method:

1. Combine the sugar, cinnamon, molasses and 100ml water in a small pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Cool completely, then combine with the pomegranate juice and taste.

2. Beat the egg whites to soft peaks in a bowl, then fold into the sorbet mix. Either churn in an ice cream maker or freeze for 2 hours in a metal bowl, beating the edges of the sorbet every 30 minutes until it is firm but has a lovely smooth, mousse-like texture.

3. Layer the pomegranate seeds and sorbet in dessert glasses or bowls.
