  • About

I am not a lover of sweets, particularly chocolate, but this dish blows my mind. With avocado as the base, it’s super rich and creamy yet not heavy like its dairy-filled counterpart. While I appreciate that the “green cream” can be off-putting, I urge you to rise above and give it a try!

Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe avocados
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 6–8 tablespoons

Method

  1. Add avocado, unsweetened cocoa, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, vanilla and salt to a food processor and puree until creamy.
  2. Divide mousse into 4 cups; top with fresh berries and crushed nuts.
