Healthy Chocolate Mousse

  
Ingredients:

1 can full-fat coconut milk (or coconut cream)
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp cocoa powder or cacao powder
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
sweetener to taste (Use stevia or powdered sugar for thickest results.)

Directions:



Healthy frosting recipe: Open your coconut milk, and if it’s not already super-thick, leave the can (or transfer to a bowl) uncovered in the fridge overnight. Try not to shake the can too much before opening. It should get very, very thick. (If it doesn’t, you’ve gotten a bad can that won’t work for the recipe. I recommend Thai Kitchen Organic. Hint: shake the can when you’re at the store. If you can hear the liquid contents swishing around, it’s probably too thin to work for this recipe. Or if you want a no-fail option, buy coconut cream instead, at an Asian market.)

Once thick, transfer only the creamy part to a bowl, leaving the watery part out. Whip in your cocoa, vanilla, and sweetener with a fork, or even beaters if you want to be fancy. For the photos on this page, I didn’t use beaters. But I did pipe the mousse out using an icing tip. Stored uncovered in the fridge, the mixture gets even thicker.

Healthy Gummy Bears

Ingredients:

Kiwi Strawberry Flavor

1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup lime juice
1    cup strawberries diced
1    cup kiwi diced
1    packet of sweetener (I use truvia)
5    packets of gelatin (yes five!)
1    Pinch of salt

Other flavor to try!

*Mango Watermelon
*Strawberry Banana
*Raspberry Pineapple
*Guava Orange
*Cherry Pineapple
*Blueberry Pomegranate

To make these flavors:

Same as above  ~ Just swap the fruit out

Directions:
1. Combine the orange juice and next 4 ingredients. Bring to a boil.

2. Let the mixture simmer on medium until the fruit are super soft!

3. Remove mixture from stove and add to a food processor. Taste the mixture and decide how much sugar you want to add. I actually thought certain flavors didn't need any sugar! But some did so I added one packet of truvia and blend until smooth

4. Let the mixture cool down a little. Now add the gelatin and blend till smooth.
5. Pour the mixture onto a flat baking sheet or tin. and put into the refrigerator for an hour.

6. Once the mixture is firm, take your mini cookie cutter and cut out shapes.
