Chocolate Avocado Mousse

This mousse is 100% paleo, gluten free, egg free, dairy free, vegan and absolutely delicious! The texture coming out of the fridge is amazing and even stellar right out of the blender. Don't fear the avocado, you can't even tell it's in there.
Prep Time 30 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 4 -6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 oz 100% pure dark chocolate
  • 3 Tbsp cacao powder
  • 1 tsp instant coffee
  • 6 pitted medjool dates
  • 2 large ripe avocados pitted
  • ΒΌ cup coconut milk
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Method
 

  1. Set a small metal bowl atop a small saucepan of water, filled about 1/3 of the way. Set on high heat until it boils, then turn down to a simmer.
  2. Melt the first four ingredients in the bowl, stirring occasionally. Set aside while preparing the next part of the recipe.
  3. In a blender or food processor, add the remaining ingredients and blend until almost smooth.
  4. Add in the chocolate mixture and continue to blend until completely smooth.
  5. Scoop into bowls or be fancy schmantzy like me and pipe it into glass bowls. Place in refrigerator to firm up for four hours or eat it soft and warm straight out of the blender...

Notes

Keeps for at least a day or two covered in the fridge.
