Apple And Date Mousse Recipe

Ingredients for Apple And Date Mousse

• 2 medium apples (about 1 pound), peeled, cored, and chopped

How to Make Apple And Date Mousse

1. In a medium saucepan, combine chopped apples, lemon juice, lemon zest, and maple syrup.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are very soft (about 10-15 minutes). Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if the mixture becomes too dry.
3. Remove from heat and let the apple mixture cool completely.
4. Once cooled, add the pitted Medjool dates to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
5. Add the cooled apple mixture to the blender and blend until light and fluffy (this may take a few minutes).
6. Stir in the sesame seeds.
7. Spoon the mousse into 4 dessert glasses or small bowls.
8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill before serving.
9. Garnish with fresh lemon balm, mint, or lemon geranium leaves before serving.
