Peanut Butter Chocolate Mousse Slice

It was only a matter of time before I created this recipe. I am sure you have all realised by now that I am somewhat obsessed with the chocolate + peanut butter combo, chuck a bit of banana in there and then you have a serious flavour party on your hands, or in your mouth.

The mixture of textures in this slice is what really makes it something special. I know how hard it is, but you MUST leave it to thaw for a few minutes from the freezer before serving I promise it is worth it to have that soft mousse on top. Although I certainly wont be the one  judging you when you have your hands in the freezer late at night sneaking a slice still frozen, believe me.

This mousse is my newest obsession. It seriously tastes like the real thing, but is healthy enough to devour for breakfast with berries, which is next on my to do list.  As for the health benefits, it is packed full of heart healthy monounsaturated fats from the avo and coconut, loads on antioxidants from the cacao and its sweetened naturally with dates and honey!

This is a dessert you can feel good about eating, it is deliciously rich too so you only need a small piece to be satisfied.
