Hi-Ya !
A couple of weeks ago I attended Charlotte's Annual Health and Fitness Expo. I was able to try new healthy products, food and otherwise, collect literature on tons of topics, sat in on speaking seminars, food demonstrations, and even participated in TWO workout classes, Pi Yo and Cardio Dance, plus at the end of my day I had a Swag bag of healthy goodies.
I'm always trying to make healthier desserts and this one may be one of my favorites !
And here is a Bonus: I think it would be a great dessert for Valentine's Day !
So fast forward.....
I made a batch of this Avocado Chocolate Mousse and all I can say is ....
Holy Cow !
I totally believe that "sharing is caring", so I decided to share with you the recipe for this creamy, airy, and chocolaty goodness.
It's a only a few ingredients and it takes less than 10 minutes to whip up, but the best part of this recipe is that you can get your chocolate fix in at about *128 calories a serving .
(*based on My Fitness Pal recipe importer)
I like to give props due when props are due, but I honestly don't know who created this recipe as it was posted at the Expo on a life size cardboard.
Ingredients
Servings 6
1 cup Silk unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 ripe avocados
1/3 cup + 1 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
strawberries, to garnish.
Instructions
Combine all ingredients (with the exception of the strawberries) in a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth. Chill and serve with fresh strawberries or any fruit of your choice.
*Raspberries or Blackberries would be a great garnish too.
