Dark Chocolate Avocado Mousse

‍

What to do with extra avocados that you have sitting around? Turn them into Dark Chocolate Mousse!

‍

If you’re eating a restricted diet (gluten free, dairy free, or vegan), being able to enjoy foods that remind you of your “pre-chronic health” life can be VERY comforting. This dark chocolate mousse satisfies the craving!

Dark Chocolate Avocado Mousse

2 avocados (ripe, but not overripe!)

1/2 c. cocoa

1/2 c. maple syrup

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

4 TBSP water (or milk of choice)

Optional add-ins:

1/4 c. chocolate chips - I like the Enjoy life brand (dairy free).

Orange zest (to taste)

Fresh berries (as topping)

Combine all ingredients (except for add-ins) in a blender or food processor.  Blend until well mixed. Feel free to taste “just” to make sure!  Incorporate add-ins (if desired) at the end. Enjoy!
