avocado-chocolate-mousse

Ingredients

6 oz cacao paste

2 avocados (~1 cup)

pinch salt

2 tsp vanilla

1.5 cups coconut cream

Directions

1. Melt the cacao paste (or dark chocolate) in the microwave in 10 second intervals until 3/4 of it is liquidy.  Transfer this to a food processor.

2.  Add the avocado, salt, vanilla, and coconut cream to the food processor and blend until uniform and you don't see any of the green from the avocado. 

3.  Pour into prepared crusts if you want a mousse pie, or into serving dishes if you want a crust-less mousse.  Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

4.  Serve chilled.  

Optional: Whip heavy cream or coconut cream with a tiny bit of vanilla.  Place a dollop on top before serving.
