Avo & Dark Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
For the mousse
2 ripe avocados - chopped
200g of good quality dark eating chocolate (60-75% cocoa)
1/3 -1/2 a cup of milk (cow's, almond or coconut)
1-2 tablespoons of liquid honey or pure maple syrup (optional)
Fresh berries or any other fruit to garnish
Method
-
Melt chocolate in a double boiler or in a glass bowl set above a pot of simmering water (make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl or else it will risk the chocolate burning or becoming grainy).
-
Place avocado and melted chocolate in a food processor and blend together until smooth, whilst pouring in the milk. Keep blending until the mousse is very smooth and creamy. Taste, and if you would like it a little sweeter, you can add a bit of honey or maple syrup, however I think it’s sweet enough as is! Spoon into serving glasses and chill in fridge briefly for 10-15 minutes.
-
Garnish with fresh berries and extra chocolate if desired.
