5-Minute Mousse

AVOCADO ~ Chocolate Mousse

INGREDIENTS

1 ripe large avocado

1/4 cup raw cocoa powder

1/4 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup coconut milk or almond milk

1 teaspoons stevia or other sweetener

1 tsp natural vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon natural almond extract

1/8 teaspoon salt

Optional extras: toasted sliced almonds, frozen mixed berries, almond butter, coca nibs, coconut oil, yogurt + chia seeds or chia powder (grind some chia seed with a mortar and pestle and then sprinkle the both on top of the dollop of yogurt). The sour will bring out the flavour of the sweet mousse.

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1. Place the chocolate chips in a bowl. Place over a small saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.

  2. Place the melted chocolate, avocado, cocoa powder, almond or coconut milk, sweetener, vanilla, and salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping the side of the bowl as needed. Spoon into glasses or place in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe into glasses. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours (Can be prepared 1 day in advance or even frozen and defrosted at room temperature).
