Hope you'll enjoy this delicious Avocado Chocolate Mousse I discovered recently. The recipe was developed by Todd Cameron…Head Chef at Gaia Retreat and Spa.

avocadoServes 4

3 ripe avocadoes (small)
1/3 cup cocoa powder – good quality
Dehydrated sugar cane juice ¼ cup or 3 -4 heaped dessertspoons (Rapadura) – brown sugar flavour
Dash vanilla essence
100g melted dark chocolate (good quality look for cocoa mass, cocoa butter rather than vegetable oil. Melt chocolate in oven @ 100°C for about 5 mins)
300mls water

  • Put all ingredients into blender or food processor and blend until a smooth paste.

To set use agar agar (seaweed derivative), not gelatine. Dissolve 1½ tsp agar agar into 100ml water – bring  to the boil and  simmer for 30 seconds.

  • Put in bowls in the fridge for between 5 -10 minutes to quicken the setting process.
  • Serve with mixed berries.
