Avocados are 100% cholesterol-free, they contribute to almost 20 vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. With just one serving it offers 8% of the daily fibre. This has  been found to potentially reduce the risk of diabetes and many other illnesses. And, being super low in carbs they act as a “nutrient booster” to help the body absorb fat-soluble nutrients better.

The best part about this mousse is that it tastes so decadent and so sinful that you completely forget you’re getting so many health benefits at the same time. It makes this much easier to eat the whole tub in one sitting and be thoroughly satisfied without feeling guilty.

CHOCOLATE AVOCADO MOUSSE TIPS

Make sure your avocados are Hass not Californian or Floridian, and they need to be soft not over ripe.

Cacao powder has a milder taste compared to cocoa, either is fine to use. However, unrefined, undutched cocoa is much better for you. Because it hasn’t been heavily processed it still contains its nutrients.

Avocados are freezable, put the mousse in an ice cube tray and freeze. Bring a few cubes back to temperature when you’re ready, whiz them with a blender. And there you have the perfect ice-cream!

CHEF’S NOTES:

Nutritional calculations are per person, are rounded off estimates and exclude optional extras. If you use other ingredients or quantities, the results can’t be guaranteed.

Note: Erythritol is an alternative to cane sugar, it is a type of sugar alcohol that the body can’t digest into glucose so it does not spike blood sugar. It has a glycemic index of 0 and is effectively 0 net carbs. Therefore, it is completely subtracted from the net carbs.
