Light Strawberry And Almond Mousse, Dairy-free And Sugar-free

The new gastronomic trends seek to combine delicious flavors and a balanced diet so that health and pleasure go hand in hand.

In this way, more and more recipes made with healthy fats, sugar-free, flour-free and dairy-free are being shared and the consumption of highly nutritious superfoods is promoted.

Discover in this article a simple recipe to make a light and digestive strawberry and almond mousse , without any dairy and without sugar. 

A dairy-free mousse

Mousse recipes  are usually made with heavy cream or cream, ingredients that give flavor and creaminess to any dessert.

However, we can look for lighter alternatives that are also suitable for those who do not tolerate lactose, do not want to exceed fat or do not consume dairy.

In this recipe we are going to substitute dairy for almond milk, which is smooth, creamy and very nutritious. We can buy it or make it at home ourselves.

Sugar free desserts

The problem with most desserts is the excess sugar they contain. Excess white sugar is considered a very harmful product for our health, since it alters, acidifies and decalcifies the body, which can affect many disorders of all kinds.

Today we have many alternatives to white sugar, among which we can try to discover different types of sweetness and textures for each recipe:

• Whole cane sugar.
• Stevia.
• Honey bee.
• Agave syrup.
• Cereal molasses.
• Maple syrup.

Benefits of this dessert

Strawberry

Strawberry is a very suitable fruit in any healthy diet, since it is low in sugars, calories and fat, and has diuretic properties that help us fight fluid retention that causes us to be bloated and overweight.

They are also rich in vitamin C, folate, manganese, iodine, and potassium. Thanks to these nutritional values, eating strawberries regularly allows us to regulate blood cholesterol levels, prevent osteoporosis, fight constipation and improve vision.

The almond

The almond is an excellent dry fruit to consume at any age, since it provides many nutrients, protein, healthy fats and fiber.

Although it contains many calories, these become a great source of energy, and are not contraindicated in cases of overweight if we consume them in moderation, at the rate of a handful a day.

In addition, almonds are rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects us from aging, both outside and inside. The almonds will allow us to avoid dairy in this recipe, since they will add a lot of creaminess to the mousse .

Strawberry mousse

Below we detail the recipe to make this delicious and healthy strawberry mousse .

Ingredients

• 1 cup of raw almonds (150 g).
• 3 egg whites.
• 1 glass of water (200 ml).
• 3 tablespoons of refined liquid stevia (30 ml).
• 3 cups of strawberries (510 g).

Note: we recommend that strawberries are organic, since if they are not grown naturally they usually contain a large amount of pesticides that penetrate the interior of the fruit through the delicate external pores.

Preparation

• One hours before preparing this recipe, we will soak the raw almonds to activate them, make them more digestive and easy to cook.
• We will separate the whites from the yolks and we will mount the first ones to the point of snow, until we get a creamy foam. We will reserve.

• We will beat the soaked almonds with the glass of water for at least a minute, so that we will obtain a fairly thick cream.
• We will add the stevia and strawberries and continue beating. At this time we can try this preparation in case we want to sweeten it a little more, since it will depend on our tastes and the sweetness of the fruit.
• Next, we will add the whites to the fruit smoothie very gently, to mix both preparations without reducing the size of the whites.
• We will distribute the cream in glasses or the containers that we want to use, cover them and put them in the fridge.
• We must wait at least 24 hours before consuming this sweet if we want it to have the right mousse  texture  .
