Avo Choc Mousse

Ingredients

Serves 2

1 avocado
4-6 tbsp raw cacao powder
125-175 ml water
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 or 3 pitted dried dates – optional

Method

Whizz up the flesh of one avocado, the raw cacao powder, the water, and the vanilla extract. Add a couple of pitted dried dates for extra sweetness if needed. The trick with this recipe is to start with the lower amount of each ingredient, blend, then taste. Exactly how much you need will depend on the exact size of the avocado you are using as well as the minimum liquid your blender requires in order to operate and blend the ingredients. Start with 125ml water then add just a bit more until your blender turns the avocado and cacao powder into a very fluffy, light, mousse. If you are using dates, blend the water and dates first, then add the remaining ingredients to ensure the smoothest result. Spoon equally into two dishes. Eat immediately or chill in the fridge for later. Top with fresh berries YUM !
