Ingredients
- 1 large avocado pitted and skin removed
- 2 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate melted and cooled slightly
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk or nonfat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup nonfat vanilla or plain greek yogurt regular yogurt is fine too
- 2 packets sweetener or to taste I used Splenda
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except Splenda in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, wiping down the sides and stirring as needed. Add Splenda or sweetener one packet at a time, tasting in between. You may need more or less than 2 packets depending on how sweet you want your mousse.
- Place in a bowl and chill until ready to use. Serves 1 large portion or 2 small, however this is really rich and filling. I suggest 4 mini servings!
- To make the red hearts, melt about 2 tablespoons of red candy melts according to package directions.
- Place melted candy in a sandwich bag and cut off one corner. Pipe hearts onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet and chill until hardened.
