By popular demand, I am posting the recipe of avocado chocolate mousse.

This could not be easier. I used to make this when my children were quite small and it was usually demolished quickly. It’s a great recipe that has no call for raw eggs or added sugar.

In the early days I used to make this with honey as a sweetener, but in the end I found that the honey just could not stand up to the bitterness of the cocoa. Frankly I may as well have just tipped in a barrel of sugar with the amount of added honey.  So, I switched to medjool dates instead and it made a massive difference to both texture and sweetness. The dates firmed it up like a mousse and it became not so jaw achingly sweet.

The kids love this and nutritionally, it’s got a great hit of avocado in it, and it is without the addition of refined added sugar.

So here goes!

Medjool Dates, probably about 8, pitted.

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 or 2 large whole very ripe avocados

water if needed to loosen the texture

Put everything into the processor and blitz.

Scrape down and turn into bowls and leave in the fridge until you want to use them

For optional nutrition, add a teaspoon of smooth peanut butter.

Enjoy!
