Rhubarb, pear and hazelnut mousse
Rhubarb, pear and hazelnut mousse
2 stalks minced rhubarb
3 pears cored and minced
1/2 cup dates
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 banana
1 tablespoon hazelnut butter
1 teaspoon palm oil
Pinch of sea salt
Cook all ingredients together until roughly liquid (it will still be pulpy) and then an additional 20 minutes or so to further thicken. Allow to cool slightly and then blend ingredients until creamy and smooth. Chill for 4 hours (or longer if you can).

beautiful!
Thanks, Bazu!
I'm on a rhubard kick, too. I recently discovered roasted rhubarb. Oh. Man. With either vanilla bean or cinnamon and a little sugar, it's died and gone to heaven good and slightly addictive.
I might try this mousse this weekend since I have all the ingredients. Did you love it?
I really liked it (and that's hard for me to say about a mousse with no chocolate). I was thinking that I might double the banana in lieu of the pear for a creamier mousse the next time. But the pear adds a flavour layer and some texture; so, I dunno.
My official taster gave it an 8.5/10 (she's consistently rated most of the dishes in the last several posts in the 7 range, which suggests the recipe is probably a keeper). If you do try it out, be sure to let me know how it goes and how you improve the recipe!
But I know what you mean about the roasted rhubarb. I ate a lot of rhubarb in pies as a kid, but not much else. So far, I've roasted it with sweet potato for soup. I think I'm going to try that again but aim for a sweet potato/rhubarb mousse instead.
yay! there's the recipe :) that looks so pretty! i love rhubarb... i'm going grocery shopping!
Thanks, Doc! Good luck with your shopping!
Yup this recipe is a keeper. Anything with rhubarb gets extra points from the official taster! ;)
That's a beautiful mousse! Sometimes I avoid rhubarb recipes because they have SO MUCH sugar, so I'm really impressed with your recipe with no sugar!
Oh, looking good! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy.
i'm sorry i've been AWOL from here... i have a lot to look back on that i haven't yet seen here.
Vincent, also, thank you for your comment about Mattie. She's not out of the woods yet, proverbially speaking (writing) but she is on her way to good health, i'm so believing that. Thank you so much, Vincent, for caring. It means a lot to me (and her, too).
i have a question for you... is it possible for me to get to your other blog, the one that is for "invited" peeps only. If not that's fine, i was just wondering...
Thanks, ATXVegan! The pear and the dried fruits do a lot to sweeten it. There's really no need to add any additional sweetener.
Kleo, I'm glad that she's on her way to good health, then. I hope everything turns out okay.
WRT my other blog, I hope to be publishing it soon. I'm the only peep that has access to it at this point (and only because it's still in development). It's nothing worth seeing at this point, though!
