By Alqualonde

Ingredients

• Enough for 2:

• 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut cream, chilled
• 3-4 tablespoons cocoa powder (see note above)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds, optional
• 1-2 teaspoons liquid stevia

Preparation

Step 1

1. Halve avocado and scoop flesh into a food processor.


2. Add coconut cream, cocoa powder, chia seeds if using and stevia.


3. Whizz for a minute or until smooth.


4. Taste and adjust the flavour with extra cocoa powder and/or stevia if needed.


5. Divide between 2 pretty glasses or tea cups and chill until ready to serve.


VARIATIONS
no food processor? - just use a blender or mash everything together with a fork.

smooth texture - leave out the chia seeds.

no stevia? - sweeten to taste with your favourite sweetener instead. If you're using sugar, best to use icing or powdered sugar so your texture stays smooth.

granular stevia? - whizz in a spice grinder first so it's powdered and doesn't leave your mousse with a gritty texture.

dairy-lovers - replace coconut cream with double cream or whipping cream.
