why not eat them? 

Im personally not a huge fan of how they taste. 

I love my homemade guacamole, and I can eat it mashed on a sandwich, But I cant just eat it in a spoonful or by itself.
And I have now found that I can eat it as a mousse.
Avocado when blended is the perfect light yet "moussey" texture.
I actually prefer this to actual mousse!
This isnt just a healthy girl that likes "nasty healthy things" saying this.
I know there are some things "healthy people" say to try and its gross but I promise you this is not one of those things!
All you can taste is super rich chocolate mousse!

I mean who doesnt love chocolate?!

Im going to try more and more recipes now because I love how it is with chocolate. 

You cant even taste it or if you can, you can barely tell.

This is ABSOLUTELY delicious. 

Decadent

Healthy

And EXTREMELY easy to make anyone could do it. 

You really cant mess this up!!

Im sure you're ready for the recipe now

You will need:

~ 1 Ripe Avocado

~ 4 Tbs Cocoa Powder (raw or just baking)

~ 3 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

~ 4 1/2 Tbs Agave Nectar

~ 1/8 cup Dark Chocolate 60% and higher

Step 1~ Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave 30 seconds at a time and stir (no longer or will burn, VERY easy to do so)

Step 2~ Throw all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.

Step 3~ Serve now or put in a container and serve later.

*My recipe made about 2 1/2 SMALL servings.(last picture) If you need more just double or triple the recipe.

*I put mine in small containers so when I want a treat I can just grab a small serving out of the fridge. 

*If not eating right away and storing in the fridge I might let it thaw on the counter for about 10 minutes or so. It might be good or better cold, not sure

*This is super rich and decadent so these small servings are just enough for me. :)

Give it a try!!

Let me know what you think:)
