Especially if you have a picky eater, you’ll want even desserts to be healthy. This recipe came from Loralie, a mom who reads the Baby Bites Ezine.

She says, “I am NOT a big fan of most veggies – especially sweet potatoes. With my new way of eating, rich colored veggies are at the top of the list. I have my daughter following the same eating as I do – no sugar no gluten – wow what a change in her! I have been looking for new recipes for desserts so that we don’t feel deprived or punished. A friend gave me this recipe this week and swore that it was amazing. I will have to admit I was VERY skeptical, but I thought I would give it a try. If you like Chocolate Mousse, then you will LOVE this new family favorite! Give it a try and you will be stunned  – I promise! It is a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies too! Use all organic ingredients to preserve the flavor and health benefits.”

Makes a dozen ¼ cup servings – This is a very rich dessert!

First You’ll Need:
Whip until the following until it reaches desired thickness and divide in half (save half for topping):
2 cups organic heavy cream or whipping cream
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon blue agave (to taste)

Next You’ll Need:
2 14 ounce cans pureed organic sweet potatoes or 2 medium (one and a half pounds) peeled sweet potatoes, cooked until soft and pureed (pulse in a blender until the consistency of the canned variety) light and airy.
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons blue agave (For those who are sugar sensitive or diabetic use 4-5 packets Stevia and taste for sweetness)
