I was at my friend Ja’s house for a potluck dinner last weekend when my friend Isla surprised us all with this AMAZZING raw mousse. The special ingredient..avocados! You must try make and taste this 🙂

1/2 cup pitted soft dates
3-4 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 1/2 tbsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups (3 medium) avocados
3/4 cup carob or cacao powder

Soak dates in 1/2 cup of water for 5-10 minutes.
Drain water and save.
Food process dates, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth.
Add a few tbsp date soak water as needed.
Spoon in avocado & carob/cacao, blend until smooth.

This is a rich mousse so break it up by making layers of fresh fruits then sprinkle with a little coconut.
Bring this to your next dinner party and get your friends to try and guess the mystery ingredient…avocados!
