CHOCOLATE MOUSSE OR ICE CREAM

 

  • 2 medium ripe avocados- peeled
  • 10 oz. coconut milk (Leiber’s has an organic one)  -You can substitute this with 8 oz. nut milk
  • 6 tbsp. maple syrup, more or less to taste
  • 6 tbsp. cacao powder
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

 

Directions:

 

  1. Place all ingredients into a food processer and blend until smooth.
  2. Taste and adjust to your preferences. Add more cacao powder if you want a deeper chocolate flavor, or add more sweetener if you want it sweeter. Blend again.
  3. The mixture should be thick but pourable. If the mixture seems too heavy add one or more tbsp. of coconut or nut milk and blend again.
  4. Enjoy immediately for a pudding texture, or for a thicker mousse-like texture place in the fridge for an hour to firm.
  5. Put into ice pop molds or cups and freeze for ice cream.
  6. You can top it with some chopped nuts, toasted shredded coconut, a drizzle of peanut butter or use your imagination!
