Avocado Chocolate Mousse-Yes I said avocado

Tonight we tried something a little different for dessert.  This recipe was shared by another blogger in my grad. class.  It is very simple and easy dessert to make. 

Even if you do not like avocados (which I happen to love) you need to try this recipe.  You cannot taste the avocado and you get all the goodness from this super food.

Again I like to thank Susan for the great recipe idea!

AVOCADO CHOCOLATE MOUSSE.
1 large, ripe avocado
1/4 cup raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/8 tsp cinnamon

I used an electric mixer and blended it until smooth, then chilled it in the fridge while we ate dinner.  I also added strawberries from our  garden to balance out the richness.

I used one avocado, it was just enough for the three of us to have a small sample, and it was the perfect amount.

Jack digging in!

Evidence left on his face

This was Jack's portion.  I think it is safe to assume he enjoyed it!  Will definitely be making it again!
