How to Transform an Avocado




 The clouds are crying as my eldest would say.  I wander if the rain will ever stop.  It’s cold, it’s wet, it’s dreary and not your typical Sunshine Coast weather.  I want to eat a block of chocolate..........

My husband is away competing in this and we wish we could be there cheering him on. The boys are going nuts inside and so am I.   I spy an avocado in the fruit bowl and decide to transform it.   I indulge in some trickery.  

This sneaky raw avocado chocolate mousse reminds me just how incredibly versatile the humble avocado is.  Serve immediately or chill for an hour prior to serving, adjust the sweetness to your desire and top with a sprinkle (only) of grated chocolate pieces (70% cocoa or above) and some berries........  Deliciously satisfying with no guilt - that is my type of treat - just remember this serves 2 and not 1!

    I've tried a similar recipe and it was DELICIOUS. Great photos, BTW.

    What a great recipe! I am definitely going to try this - anything that can give me a quick chocolate fix and be healthy at the same time is definitely a good thing :)

    I love how versatile avocados are! My fiance is not a fan of them but I wonder, if I snuck them into something tasty like this, if he'd notice... :)

    I grew up with an avocado as a dessert - and a combination of choco avocado is always my favorite. THIS is a new recipe for me - and it definitely is a keeper!

    Such pretty pics too!

    Wow, I can't believe that was made from an avocado. I think I'm going to make it and try to trick my friends :) Thanks!

    No guilt? Does that mean I can have seconds? :)

    I've been wanting to try this, but didn't have a recipe. I'm pinning this for later. I'll make it and serve it to my bf (a known avocado hater) and he'll never know what hit him! Yay!

    I've wanted to use avos in a dessert for a long time now, but I've been scared to. This is easy enough, and it looks divine! Gorgeous photos!!!
