I love chocolate as many of us do. I’ve found that I do better without most forms of dairy, at least the rich heavy creamy stuff. So, I am always looking for ways to enjoy many of the former foods that I loved before I said good-bye to dairy. Fortunately, today there are many ways to do enjoy those foods and even many restaurants are able to use substitutions this these days. Amazing and wonderful, isn’t it?
This recipe has the creamy goodness of avocado, but you’d never guess it. And, raw cacao is the new superfood; full of antioxidants and increases your serotonin levels to give you that blissful feeling we all love. I use a coconut milk when I make it and you could certainly experiment with Stevia to sweeten instead of the dates. Or even, try a mixture of the two to find your perfect “blissful” version.
This Chocolate Mousse is a dessert that both my husband and I just love! This photo was taken on Valentine’s Day and sent to him in a text. As they say, “A picture is worth a thousand words”. The text back was “Holy Smokes! I guess I am heading home right now.” Worked like magic!
This is a dairy-free chocolate mousse, using avocado that is easy and can be make in a high speed blender such as a Vitamix or a food processor. So healthy you could have it for breakfast. And, you’d never guess it has avocado in it!
It is very stiff blending for me using the Vitamix, but it does work well. I do add a bit of the date water or more milk to add in blending. You could use any type of milk that you prefer. You could play with different types of extract for different flavors such as peppermint. I used sweetened cacao nips, raspberries, and mint leaves in the photo.
