Chocolate Velvet

Chocolate Velvet

 

                                           CHOCOLATE VELVET

Don’t tell the kids the ingredients or that this smooth silky mousse is actually healthy for them!  This mousse is heart healthy and the velvet texture is unbelievable.  If you tasted it before reading the ingredients you would never guess what’s in it – avocado.
You can not taste the avocado at all.  This is guaranteed to be the lightest mousse that has ever had the pleasure of passing your lips!  Best of all it’s a raw, vegan dish but don’t let the healthiness put you off!

1 large ripe avocado
6 tablespoons unsweetened raw cocoa powder
¼ cup agave syrup or maple syrup
2 tablespoons rapadura
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Good pinch of ground cinnamon
½ cup purified water, maybe more

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and whizz until smooth adding more water until you get the desired consistency. 

Note:  for a thicker mousse – add less water, for a chocolate sauce – add more water.

Garnish with a dollop of mascarpone, or cream and a shaving of chocolate.
