Chocolate Espresso Banana Avocado Mousse



Chocolate Avocado Mousse is a quick and easy dessert that everyone always loves.  It's gluten free, grain free, and vegan so it's a great dessert for gatherings where people have food restrictions.  Once you try making the mousse, you can experiment with different flavours and garnishes.  You can also use the mousse as a layer in other desserts like the Dark Chocolate Raspberry Avocado Mousse Pie I made in a previous post.

Chocolate Espresso Banana Avocado Mousse:
- 2 large avocados (3-4 small)
- 1 banana
- 2 Tbsp. honey, agave or maple syrup (to taste)
- 1 tsp. espresso (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4 Tbsp cocoa powder

Step # 1
In a food processor blend together bananas, avocados, cocoa powder, espresso and maple syrup (please add more espresso, cocoa powder and maple syrup to taste but keep in mind the raspberry filling will give it sweetness!).  This is the base of the dessert and it should be thick and smooth.  If needed add 1/2 tsp. of water to make smooth (depending on how ripe the avocados are)

Step #2  Garnish with fresh raspberries and then use a vegetable peeler for the chocolate curls on top.
