Admittedly not the most appealing color
I had read so many of these chocolate avocado mousse recipes. Apparently the avocado taste would be completely offset by the chocolate and it gives a silky texture making the dessert sinlessly delicious.
I thought I'd give it a go, I always like to try out new healthy dessert recipes.
So it's obviously not the same as your average decadent chocolate mousse with a whole cupful of double cream folded into it. It's...interesting. Different. It's not bad, I'd happily eat a whole bowl of it, but it's no competition to the real, fattening, artery-clogging stuff. *Sigh* such is life.
The cocoa didn't completely cover the taste of the avocado so I added a banana and some mint. Take these measurements with a pinch of salt since you should just keep tasting it on the way, seeing if you want it more chocolaty or banana-y or minty or avocado-y. Just use them as a general guideline.
Total time: 10 min Serves: 4 Suitable for: satisfying a level 2 sweet craving (i.e. you want something sweet but you don't need a slice of devil's food cake. That's level 5)
Ingredients
2 ripe avocados
1/2 cup cocoa
1 banana
1/2 cup mint
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Method
Scoop out the flesh of the avocado, chop the banana, and add all the ingredients into a food processor. Process until smooth and adjust the ingredients according to your own taste. Place in moulds and chill in fridge until ready to be served.
Variations
The aim here I suppose is to just keep the consistency of a mousse. So you can add other flavoring agents, add a shot of rum, add some other fruits.
