vegan chocolate mousse

Sunday, July 28, 2013

We are coming to the end of our avocado harvest and it has been heaven to have an endless supply of avos.  We have had to get creative once or twice-from new versions of guac to mango and avo smoothies.  Today I discovered a new use for avocados and it is heavenly!  A new favourite, and no one would know the main ingredient is avocado.

Vegan Chocolate Mousse
300g ripe avocado-weighed without skin and stone
125g good quality cocao powder (it seems alot but it isnt!)
2 tbsp coconut oil
200ml agave or maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extrct

To decorate-1-2 tbsp cocao nibs

Its a really quick and easy recipe with the aid of a food processor.  simply put all of the ingredients into the machine and process until thick and smooth.  You will need to open the food processor and push down the mixture from the side a couple of times.
Spoon the mixture into small bowls and chill in the fridge until required: it will keep for several hours. Serve decorated with the cocao nibs.
