Shannon Harley gives her favourite Italian dessert a healthy make over, swapping refined sugar and cream with healthy chia seeds, prunes and cacao.

150g pitted prunes, roughly chopped
1/4 cup (60ml) Marsala or fortified wine
1/2 cup (125ml) espresso
2 tbs cacao, plus extra to dust
1 tbs freshly ground coffee
1/3 cup (80ml) rice malt syrup, melted
1/2 cup (80g) white chia seeds
400ml can coconut milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup (40g) cacao nibs

Method

1.

Soak prunes in Marsala (or substitute water) and espresso. Set aside for 3 hours.
2.

Meanwhile, combine cacao, ground coffee, 2 tbs rice malt syrup, 1/4 cup (40g) chia seeds, 150ml coconut milk and 3/4 cup (185ml) warm water in a bowl. Stir to combine well, then transfer to an airtight container and chill for 3 hours.
3.

Place vanilla and remaining 1/4 cup (40g) chia seeds, 2 tbs rice malt syrup and 250ml coconut milk in a separate bowl and stir to combine well, then transfer to an airtight container and chill for 3 hours.
4.

To serve, beat the vanilla and chocolate chia mousses with a spoon to soften. Spoon prunes into 4 serving glasses. Top with half the vanilla chia mousse, then top with chocolate chia mousse, then finish with a final layer of vanilla chia mousse. Sprinkle with extra cacao and scatter with cacao nibs.
