Date Mousse with Greek Yogurt and Honey Cookies

DifficultyEasy

This is my version of a tiramisu, but lighter, simpler, and made with ingredients I feel good about. The date mousse is creamy and naturally sweet, the cookies add that perfect crunch, and the Greek yogurt ties it all together. I make these the night before and they're even better the next day.

Step 1

Ingredients

4

For the mousse

  • 10 large Medjool dates (8 to 10), pitted
  • ½ cup hot water
  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch of salt

For the layers

  • 12 Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins (8 to 12)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

To garnish (optional)

  • Cinnamon
  • Sliced almonds or chopped mixed nuts

Instructions

  1. Place the dates in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let soak for 10 minutes to soften.
  2. Add the dates, almond butter, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and 2 to 4 tablespoons of the soaking water to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the ¾ cup of Greek yogurt and blend again until uniform.
  4. Place a thin layer of date mousse at the bottom of each glass container.
  5. Add a layer of honey cookies, whole or broken to fit.
  6. Add a layer of Greek yogurt.
  7. Repeat the layers: mousse, cookies, yogurt.
  8. Finish with a layer of mousse and sprinkle cinnamon on top.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.

Vivi's Notes

The next day, the cookies will be slightly soft, the mousse firmer, and the flavors perfectly integrated. Tip: if you want a texture more similar to tiramisu, quickly dip the cookies in almond milk before layering. Just one second per side so they don't fall apart.
