Avocado Chocolate Mousse is rich and creamy, and there is no avocado taste. Not only does this taste like chocolate mousse it might even taste better. You can add more chocolate bar to it if you want it richer and you can add more sweetener (maple syrup, honey, sugar, agave, etc.) if you want it sweeter. Its great as is or with your favorite fruit dipped in.

Let’s raise our glasses of water to eating just a taste of everything we bake! That is always my goal but sometimes it works better than others. I had better put a vicegrip on my cravings or culinary school will make me FAT! Cheers to lower calorie desserts and only trying a taste! (and the little hearts on your heart healthier cookies! Adorbs)
