Chocolate Avocado Mousse
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
2 large avocados peeled, pitted, and halved
1/3 cup honey*
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup almond milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
*Recipe can be made vegan by replacing honey with pure maple syrup, agave, or coconut palm nectar.
Directions
1. Place all ingredients in food processor or blender. Process until completely smooth. (You may need to scrape the edges of the food processor to get everything to combine.)
2. Transfer to sealable container and refrigerate at least 1 hour, or until ready to serve. (Resist the temptation to try it right away! You'll probably be disappointed. It tastes best if you let it sit overnight so that the flavors develop and meld together. Then it will taste like pure heaven!)
Notes
• Mousse will keep up to 4 days in sealed container in refrigerator.
• You can also freeze the mousse and eat it like ice cream! Simply thaw for about 8 minutes before scooping.
