I developed this recipe with Cinco De Mayo in mind. Creamy and decadent chocolate mousse with a nod to Mexico by way of cinnamon, vanilla and chile powder. This recipe contains no dairy, but gets it’s rich creamy goodness from avocado and full fat coconut milk . Add raw cacao for that chocolate bliss. It’s en fuego!!

Ingredients

- Cut avocado in half lengthwise, remove seed and scoop out flesh into food processor or blender.
- Add remaining ingredients and pulse or blend into completely smooth. You’ll need to scrape down bowl a few times to ensure everything is incorporated and silky smooth.
- If too thick, add a little more coconut milk until desired consistency. Adjust sweetness to taste. May be refrigerated for up to 2 days, covered.
Have fun with this recipe. For instance, feel free to change up the flavors here. I like to add a tablespoon or two of orange juice (blood orange is amazing). You can also swap out the cinnamon and chile flavoring for mint (use real mint extract) or passion fruit puree. If you don’t like or can’t have coconut milk, try almond milk or just leave out. It won’t be quite as voluminous, but still tasty! With so few ingredients, choosing quality organic ingredients is super important. Raw cacao, non-irradiate cinnamon, real vanilla and coconut milk containing only coconut and water make all the difference. Enjoy!
