Happy healthy comfort food: Choc-Avo Mousse

I experienced a huge disappointment this week. Disappointment must be my least favourite emotion. Nothing healthy, happy or serene about it. But there's something about a good kick in the guts that forces you to step back and take a long hard look at things. For some reason disappointment motivates me to set new goals, find a fresh perspective. Plan. Start anew. 
And if all else fails, cook. Eat. Enjoy.
 

Choc-Avo Mousse
This is a gluten free, dairy free, paleo dessert full of healthy fats and antioxidants. And with only 3 ingredients it doesn't get much easier than this! 

1 tsp good quality, organic cocoa or cacao powder

1 tsp honey

half an avocado 
(can be organic if you like the taste but pesticide residue is low in avos, for more reading on this, click here)


Mash the avocado with a fork, then gently sir in the cocoa and honey. Mix well. You could use a food processor for a smoother consistency. I just couldn't be bothered cleaning mine tonight!
I served the mousse with a few frozen raspberries and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It has a delightful creamy texture and is infinitely satisfying. 

On the bench (substitutions):
Sub honey for any sweetener of your choice. Add more cinnamon or some vanilla to taste. 
Add some yoghurt or cream for a touch of dairy goodness if you wish. 
Delicious and never disappointing!
