Avocados are packed with nutrients, including fibre that aids digestion, helps lower blood sugar, and supports weight management. They’re also rich in healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which support heart health and reduce bad cholesterol—all while creating a rich, creamy texture in this mousse.

Dark chocolate provides antioxidants, making this dessert both indulgent and nutrient-dense—perfect for boosting immunity and energy during the busy season. Topped with vibrant pomegranate seeds, which are rich in antioxidants that help protect against cell damage, this dessert not only tastes great but also looks stunning.

Wishing you a season full of joy, more good food, and time to recharge. Enjoy!
