Chocolate and Avocado Mousse - Coeliac Friendly Luxury Dessert

Here we have proof that chocolate can be combined with healthy foods, to make a luxury dessert full of Omega 3, vitamins A,E,B6 amongst others. Lorraine King from Alsace Baking has created this lovely recipe and demonstrated how easy it was to make at our Positively Coeliac and Free From Support Group on Thursday. Even a member who didnt like Avocado agreed it was delicious !

Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados,
200 g good quality chocolate (60 - 75% cocoa),
150/200 ml coconut milk (you can use other milk alternatives),
1 - 4 tbs agave syrup (optional to sweeten a little) xylitol or stevia are just as tasty,
1 - 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract.

Method:
Break chocolate into pieces, melt in a bowl set above a pan of simmering water. Make sure the water in the pan underneath doesn't touch the pan, to prevent burning.

Cut and scoop the flesh out of the avocado and chop up. Place the avocados, vanilla and melted chocolate into a food processor and blitz them together until smooth.

Whilst blending pour in the liquid (milk) and continue blending until creamy.

Stop blending and taste to see if it needs sweetening, sweeten with your choice of sweetener. Blend sweetener into the mixture.

Spoon the mousse into individual ramakins and chill. Serve with a sprig of mint or orange zest grated and sprinkle.
