If you love all things rich and chocolatey then this is the dessert for you. This is a healthy chocolate mousse made with raw cacao powder and creamy avocado. The ultimate sugar free treat to enjoy any time of day, even for breakfast!

Let’s talk about at avocado’s… they are strange, they are are green, yet taste delicious with just about anything. Besides being made into guacamole or tossed into salads, they are a great ingredient for healthy baking. Replace butter and cream and say hello to healthier fats for glossy hair, hydrated skin, strong nails and a healthy metabolism!

A bit about Cacao: a mineral rich, energy boosting superfood which is full of antioxidants and tastes sensational! We all know that chocolate makes us feel good, that’s because it boosts our serotonin levels. These are our happy hormones!

Magnesium supports heart and bones and relaxes muscles.

Iron supports blood health.

Zinc supports healing and healthy hair, skin and nails.

Copper supports metabolic function.

Ingredients

1 1/2 very ripe avocado’s

3 tbsp raw cacao powder

2 tsp maca powder

2 tbsp coconut oil

3 tbsp brown rice syrup or stevia drops to taste

4 tbsp coconut milk [coconut milk usually separates in the can, use the SOLID part and discard the liquid - we used Biona]

1 drop peppermint essential oil

8 fresh mint leaves

cacao nibs, extra fresh mint leaves and coconut chips to garnish

makes 2-3 servings.

Prep

You will need a high speed food processor.

How we did it

1. Pop all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend together to reach a completely dreamy, smooth consistency.

2. Pour into your favourite teacups, tumblers, ramekins or bowls, whatever you would like to serve your chocolate elixir in.

3. Decorate with fresh sprigs of mint, coconut flakes and a sprinkle of cacao nibs. Transfer your elixir desserts into the freezer for about an hour to set.

Enjoy with a mug of Pukka Three Mint tea!
