Ingredients

• 1 ripe Hass avocado

• 2-3 tablespoon of agave

• 1/2 cup of choose almond milk, soy or regular milk

• ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract

• ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon

• ¼ teaspoon of sea salt

• 4 ounces of 56% cacao baking chocolate, melted

• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Procedure 

1. Cut avocado in half and remove the pit. Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh, and put in a blender or food processor. Add cocoa powder, agave, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sea salt.

2. How to melt the baking chocolate: bring about an inch of water to a simmer in your saucepan. Set the heatproof bowl in the center of the pot, making sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir chocolate occasionally as it softens. When you have just a few small unmelted chunks, remove the bowl from heat (the residual heat will melt the rest).

3. After pouring the melted baking chocolate into the food processor/blender puree until creamy.

4. Taste and adjust for desired sweetness.

5. Spoon the mousse into a pastry bag. Using the star tip, pipe into small cups or ramekins

6. Top off with your favorite fruit, chopped nuts or coconut flakes
