Рецепт Avocado Chocolate Mousse Recipe
I have wanted to make an avocado based chocolate mousse ever since I watched Skye make one on Master Chef Australia Season 2. So when Linda from The Squashed Tomato sent me an invitation on behalf of ZZ2 to participate along with 13 other bloggers in their “More than just guacamole!” Afrikado Blogger Challenge! I knew straight away what I was going to make. I had no idea what my avocado chocolate mousse would taste like but I wanted to get a silky smooth texture. I have the recipe book from Master Chef which I got when I cooked ‘with’ Alvin Quah and I used Skye’s recipe as inspiration. I did not want chunks of chocolate in my mousse and I knew that I wanted the avocado to feature as a taste without it overpowering or being overpowered by the chocolate. This recipe is packed full of super foods as it uses not only avocados but also raw cacao. It can be part of a raw food diet if you melt the chocolate at the correct temperature, and it can be turned into a vegan recipe if you substitute the honey for agave syrup. No matter which way you look at it, this is a healthy excuse to indulge in dessert.

This dessert was given to four people to taste test without being told what the ingredients were. Everyone loved the avocado chocolate mousse, even if they could not identify the ingredients and topped with cream it was fantastic.
