Chocolate Mousse for Breakfast

Hello every one ,

Yes, I had the chocolate Mousse urge this morning. It has been a while.
Most people, like myself are attracted to Raw Foods because of the deserts. Knowing that you can eat something rich/ sweet and don't have to worry about the white sugar or butter, is heaven. They give you the energy without the heavy feeling later on. Fruits and nuts make up most of the desserts. Last year when I started Raw Foods , I prepared seventeen different desserts. I was eating them for lunch or dinner. Before Raw Foods , I would eat my dinner first then eat the dessert after. Now, I eat what I really, really wanted in the first place. Raw desserts are good !! They are healthy too !!

This recipe comes from the "Raw Foods Made Easy"
by Jennifer Cornbleet. I've been preparing this dish for a while and I will add a variety of ingredients : Walnuts, Almond cream , strawberries, almond butter or agave nectar. This time I added Walnuts.
You can adjust the flavor.
Enjoy

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

1/4 cup pitted medjool dates, soaked
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped avocados (1 1/4 avocados)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa or carob powder

Note: No one will know that Avocado replaces butter, cream and eggs. I will be honest - it took me a few weeks to mentally overcome the ingredient "Avocado" in the Mousse. I've been so used to the Jello Pudding mixes and the homemade one made from sugar, butter, milk and white flour.

Place the dates, 1/4 cup of the water, maple syrup, and vanilla in a food processor fitted with the S blade and process until smooth. Add the avocado and cocoa powder and process until creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of water and process briefly. Stored in a sealed container. Chocolate Mousee will keep for three days in the refrigerator or two weeks in the freezer.
