Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Yum yum...Chocolate Mousse . Well while i am thinking that, I am also thinking about all that goes into the mousse when it is store bought. i am a big fan of Natural Ingredients and hence tried this with Avocado and now this is a regular dessert for my guests at dinner and they love it. Of Course you have to be a avocado fan for you to like this ,but then whose not!!

Don't worry too much about the proportions here, taste along as you go. Just pull out that blender and have some fun :)

You will need :
1. one ripe Avocado.(the avocado has to be perfectly ripe and of a good quality or else don't make it)
2. two spoons of organic honey or whatever honey you have at home
3. one spoonful of unsweetened Coco powder. (or more if you like it a bit chocolatey and slightly bitter)
4. two tablespoons milk** (for a creamier version see bottom)
5. a dash of vanilla essence (optional)
5. a blender


Step one :
Peel and slice the avocado directly into the blender/mixer.

Look at the beautiful green colour

Step two :

Add the honey and the coco powder and couple of drops of vanilla essence(optional) whisk away.

Step three :
This is how it looks at this stage .


Step four :
Add milk and blend. now it is time to taste and decide if you need to add more honey if you like it sweet or/and more coco it you want more chocolaty ,a bit of milk if it is too thick for your taste.
and Viola!!

Refrigerate for few hours or overnight. Remember it thickens after this so keep the consistency accordingly. On mornings when i am lazy to make breakfast,  a big bowl feels like a treat to start my day with. Other days it makes the perfect light dinner substitute when i have had a heavy lunch and don't want to have soups or salads.

**To make it extra creamy
Use condensed milk (milkmaid) if making for guests or when you don't want to bother about the calories. adjust the honey accordingly as we don't want it to turn out too sweet.
