I know it might sound crazy, avocados in chocolate mousse, but try, it is decadent and delicious!
3 avocados
½ C raw cacao powder
¾ C dates/agave/honey
¼ C coconut oil (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp sea salt or crystal salt
If using agave or honey, combine all ingredients, except cacao powder, in a food processor or high-speed blender and blend until smooth, adding a small amount of water if needed. Once smooth, add cacao powder and blend. If using dates, soak dates in just enough water to cover for about a ½ hour. Place dates and the soak water in a food processor or high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Add remaining ingredients, except cacao powder, and blend until smooth. Add cacao powder and blend. Eat right away or chill for later.
I like the flavor and richness the coconut oil adds, but this mousse is still delicious without it and it can be omitted for a lower fat mousse.
Note: If using honey or agave, start with ½ C and add more if necessary for desired sweetness.
