Enjoy this Avocado Chocolate Mousse Recipe

This Avocado Chocolate Mousse Recipe is like eating dark chocolate cake icing BUT much healthier for you. Your kids will love it so much that they will be asking for more every time you make it. Not only is this a healthy alternative but amazing for days where you have that chocolate craving.

Avocado is loaded with vitamin K, dietary fiber, potassium, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and copper. They also help lower cholesterol. Cocoa has more antioxidant flavonoids than most foods, including blueberries, red wine, and black and green teas. In fact, it has up to four times the quantity of antioxidants found in green tea. And agave nectar has a good glycemic profile so you don’t get that sugar rush which takes the balance right out of your day.

RECIPE:

  • 2 large ripe avocados
  • 1/2 cup organic unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar, plus more to taste
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp almond extract or any extract you like…even vanilla
  • ยฝ cup frozen black cherries or 1 banana or 1/2 pint fresh raspberries

METHOD:

  1. Cut a ripe avocado in half. Use a big knife to grab the pit and turn to remove. Spoon out the meat of the avocado and then blend to break it down a bit.
  2. Add in cocoa powder, agave nectar, vanilla extract, and almond extract and blend for 1 to 2 minutes, making sure every part is included.

It can be eaten right away or refrigerate overnight.

I have even scooped in into popsicle molds and given it to my kids as ice cream.
