i go down for dinner with evan and leanne, score a bag of interesting books evan was chucking out, have a yummy frangelico drink, and then eat a very nice dinner. what more can a man want from life. then leanne offers me a nibble on something she has made, asking me to guess the ingredients. the clue being it's all raw food. well one bite and i can guess the cocoa, the hint of vanilla, but the rest is a mystery. it is very yummy though, delicious, not to heavy and has a strong sweet aroma, i'm stumped. evan says, 'you can get it in any fruit market.'
well i'm just bamboozled. they have to tell me twice as i didn't quite comprehend the main ingredient.
advocado brothers and sisters the mighty advocado. fucking brilliant.


Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse

Prep Time: 10 minutes

4 Ripe Organic Avocados
1 Cup of Sweetener (Agave Nectar or Evaporated Cane Juice)
1 Tbls of Pure Vanilla Extract
1 Cup of Organic Fair Trade Cocoa Powder (or Carob)
Slice each avocado open and scoop out the insides. Place the inside in a food processor or blender. Next add the sweetener, vanilla, and cocoa powder. Blend or process the mixture until fully blended. The mixture should be smooth and the color of chocolate. You can instantly serve the mousse, however we recommend you let it cool in the fridge for at least an hour. Serve in cups with fresh fruit or mint. Some of our favorite fruits we like to add are strawberries, raspberries, bananas, and sometimes pineapple! Now put your fears behind and delve into this delectable, healthy, and cooling summer dessert!
