Snack Recipe: Raw Avocado Lime Mousse on Rice Cakes
The recipe is dairy-free and suitable for someone avoiding dairy. Avocado provides healthy fats, and rice cakes are a light, gluten-free base.
Adapted from Kitchn, by Leela Cyd
Ingredients
- 1 large Hass avocado (or two smaller varieties)
- juice from 1 lime
- zest from 1/2 lime
- 3 tablespoons raw agave nectar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- unsweetened, shredded coconut for garnish
- rice cakes
Method
- Step 1
- In a medium sized bowl, mash the avocado with the back of a fork until smooth (you can also use a food processor if you are so inclined; I don't mind a few lumps so opted for the fork). Stir in lime juice, zest, agave, vanilla and salt until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for about an hour (it's much better cold). Spread on rice cakes and sprinkle on coconut.
Dairy-free check: watch for butter, cream, cheese, whey, casein and milk powder in packaged foods. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
