Avocado Chocolate Mousse

[Gravy Queen]

I wasn't sure where to put this . It's a dessert made with avocados .

I got it from another food forum ,apparently it came from Sheryl Crow who wanted to eat healthier after breast cancer .

It has a lovely soft texture, feels quite rich and decadent , you can't taste the avocado .

The recipe is simple, just 2 ripe avocados, half a cup of cocoa powder , half a cup of syrup - agave nectar or maple syrup , and one and a half teaspoon each of vanilla extract and almond extract . Blend .

Mine is quite dark as I prefer dark chocolate and my cocoa powder is Cadburys Bournville , but you could lighten it using some almond milk if you wanted to keep it vegan .

Bit different innit ?

Sounds lovely! I've heard of something similar, maybe from Nigella Lawson?

Thanks GQ!

This sounds pretty cool! If you really can't taste the avo then I will try it for sure

No you really cant, its just a lovely chocolatey treat. Nice texture.

Great I'll try it soon, avocados are cheap at the moment. Better make it before the season ends and prices go up again!

I make something similar with silken tofu rather than avocado. Yum!

Love that stuff! The texture of it is perfectly smooth and creamy. I use a combination of a little honey + a little maple syrup since agave is not my thing.

I love avocado chocolate mousse!Thank you for sharing this!!

We get lots of avos around here, so I try to eat at least 1/2 of one each day (dog gets the other half for her skin)

I use avos in brownies too

Sounds very nice! I also like the sound of the avocado chocolate brownies that were mentioned! Does anyone have a recipe for that aswell?
