This is a very quick and delicious dessert, easy to make with only 4 ingredients! It perfect for everyone with a New Year’s resolution to be healthier, since it mainly consists of hazelnuts and only has one spoonful of honey or sugar as a sweetener. The hazelnuts are blended to a peanut butter looking consistency (see picture below).
You can choose to eat a lot of fruit (which is recommended, as it has a heavy taste) to make it a little healthier. I like both serving fruits with a bit of texture, like passion fruit or pomegranate, as well as sweeter fruits like strawberry or blueberry.
The cocoa can give a slightly bitter aftertaste, if you want a sweeter mousse you can use 80 g dark (minimum 65% coca), melted chocolate instead.
