Chocolate Avocado Mousse (V, GF) Serves 2

Ingredients

Flesh of 1 ripe avocado
1 heaped tbsp organic cacao powder
2 1/2 tbsp organic agave nectar
250ml unsweetened almond milk

Method

1. Put the avocado flesh, cacao powder and agave into a food processor or nutri-bullet. 
2. Pour in 150ml of the almond milk and blend the mixture until smooth. 
3. Slowly add in more milk in intervals between blending to reach the desired consistency. It should be thick, but smooth.
4. Spoon in to two ramekins and leave in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight before serving. 

Tips: 

This basic recipe can be adapted to include additional flavours. You could add a dash of vanilla essence or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added sweetness. 

I would recommend a few pieces of finely chopped stem ginger to add a little heat or a couple of teaspoons of amaretto or cherry kirsch. If you are going to add alcohol, reduce the amount of milk and make sure the mousse has long enough to set before serving to your guests.
