Vegan Chocolate Mousse

This is the most amazing stuff.  No one believes it when I tell them it is made with avocados.  Everyone always asks for the recipe.

Makes 2 Cups

 

2 small ripe avocados

1/2 -3/4 C blue agave nectar
1/4 C raw cocao powder (or carob if you prefer)
2 T coconut butter or oil
1 T alcohol-free vanilla
dash of sea salt
dash of cinnamon (optional)

Preparation:
Place everything in a VitaMix or high-powered blender or food processor and blend (on high) until very smooth. You may need your temper to move the contents a little so the motor doesn't bog down on you. Most VitaMix blenders come with one.

Keep stored in an air-tight container in the fridge - that is, if it lasts long enough to make it to the fridge.
