    Creamy Carob Mousse (Vegan, Nut-Free)

    Creamy Carob Mousse - A delicious, chocolate-free way to enjoy mousse! This vegan recipe is made with carob powder, which is naturally sweet, thus allowing for less added sweetener.

    Vegan carob mousse made with avocados

     

    I created this recipe shortly after Sammy was born.

    My husband had taken leave from work and was home helping out with various domestic activities, including making meals, wiping tushies, and tending to his slightly over-emotional wife (aka, yours truly).

    It was a chaotic time, as we were officially outnumbered with three children!

    That time also marked my official entrance into the world of low sugar eating.

    I began to realize that what I thought was low sugar was actually me just replacing one sugar for another.

    My body definitely responds 'better' to sweeteners that aren't processed, but I still react to too much sweetener, such as maple syrup.

    The low sugar commencement

    In line with my lower sugar state of mind, I've employed carob and stevia in this recipe.

    In my opinion, stevia complements carob much better than it does cocoa! When I'm looking to use less sweetener in a 'chocolate' type dessert, I often reach for carob.

    The avocados add a creamy, rich texture that eliminates the need for any added oil or butter.

    I enjoy topping this with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinny!

      Love your recipes!, could I use a natural sugar free sweetener instead of the honey or syrup?.

      Having a baby really can change your life - and I think it's different with every baby. I'm really glad your husband is helping you with all the challenges you are facing. Your Creamy Carob Mousse looks delicious. I've pinned it - I'm always looking for healthy, tasty treats! Thank you for sharing with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop.

      congrats on the new little addition to the family! I'm not sure if it's your first, but your'e going to love being a mommy. As I'm sure youve noticed...it's a little challenging! When I had my second baby, I totally gave up the blog for a few months. Good for you that you're still posting recipes!
