Why does it seem like all camping food is salty? Between the hotdogs, burgers, and bacon, at the end of the day, you need something to satisfy your sweet tooth. Of course, you have s’mores (and we’re not knocking them!), but sometimes you want something a little healthier that might not require all the work of starting a fire.
When we want something quick, easy, and sweet, we make a dark chocolate mousse. All you need is a few ingredients and a blender, and you’ll have the perfect camping snack to satisfy your need for sweet at the end of a long day. Plus, you won’t have to worry about breaking your truck or RV’s payload capacity on the way home (it’s healthier than s’mores).
Ingredients you’ll need
To make this delicious dark chocolate mousse, you just need to grab a few ingredients:
- 1 avocado
- 2 tbsp of canned pure pumpkin (not puree)
- 1 scoop of Ancient Nutrition chocolate bone broth protein powder
- ½ tbsp of Hershey’s Special Dark cacao powder
- 2 tbsp of Silk Cashew Milk (or any other nut/soy milk of your choosing)
- ½ tbsp of peanut butter powder (optional)
These ingredients make two servings. You can add or subtract whatever you like to feed however many hungry mouths you have sitting at the campsite.
What to do
Once you have all your preferred ingredients, combine them all into a blender. The blender we have in the camper is a smaller version that just has an off/on button (keep it simple, right?), so there’s no specific setting we can tell you to use. Just hit whichever button makes the blades spin!
Blend the concoction until the whipped mousse forms. You can always add a bit more milk if you prefer a different consistency.
The mousse should come out light and fluffy, packing a sweet dessert flavor without all the guilt! It might not be as fun to make as s’mores, but your waistline will thank you—and your taste buds will barely notice the difference!
