Avocado Chocolate Mousse
2 ripe avocados, 1 to 3 tablespoons sugar or honey (to taste) 1/4 cup unsweetened cacao powder 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract pinch of salt
Process the avocados until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend again until everything is combined. Add more or less honey according to your taste. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
i agree the choccy mousse is yum and you dont need cacao powder you can use cocoa powder
Avocado chocolate mousse ½ cup of honey, use a mild runny honey ½ up of water 2 med ripe avocados 1 tsp vanilla ¼ tsp cinnamon, do not use more than this ½ cup of good cocoa powder Juice of ½ small lemon
Blend all together in food processor, keeps in the fridge for up to 10 days

Really! I might have to try it and not tell them Hehe
Then why waste an avocado on it!I think I'd rather just make chocolate mousse, and use my avocados in a savoury dish.I'm a bit funny like that though - don't like fruit in my salads (ie pieces of orange etc), or fruit in my savoury dishes.Stick savoury with savoury, and sweet with sweet.

According to the Avocado Council mashed avocao freezes really well so I plan to try when they're cheap so my guacomole-loving sons can hvae some when the season is over.

Because otherwise the avos WILL be wasted. Cause I for one cannot eat 3 or 4 in a day in a savoury dish :) The mousse however disappears very quickly around here - even though I eat hardly more than a spoonful.
And no - it doesn't taste like a "real" chocolate mousse. Because there is no whipped cream in it. But it doesn't taste at all like avocado.

I had avocado icecream in Bali and it was nice. Plenty of recipes for it online .

Ive made avocado choccy mousse before and I didnt like it - it tasted like avos mixed with coco powder. Maybe I didnt make it right but I dont want to waste another lot of avos on it.

I use a tin of salmon, cream cheese, avacado. Mix altogether, add a little lemon juice, great spread for sandwiches or a snack on crackers.
