As is usual for us, we didn't have *quite* the right ingredients so made a couple of minor tweaks. However the recipe remains gluten free, dairy free, added sugar free and egg free. Plus, it's a one pot 'whiz up' mix which is an added bonus!
The ingredients we used were -
One ripe banana, peeled
One ripe avocado, peeled and stone removed
62g dates, with stones removed
42g unsweetened cocoa powder
(this made enough for three quite large servings)
The banana and dates were put in a food processor, they were whizzed to combine and then the avocado was also added.Finally, the cocoa powder was added and mixed until all ingredients thoroughly combined.
Splitting the mousse between three serving dishes, they were then cooled until it was time to eat them. Having a smooth texture, they were very chocolatey and not too rich. A lovely end to our meal. Really simple to make and not as bad for you as other chocolate puddings!
Sous Chef J has suggested adding coffee to them the next time we make them - the finely ground instant coffee beans type - and we think the addition of a teaspoon of this will create a lovely rich mocha dessert.
