Dark Chocolate Avocado Mousse with Coconut Caramelized Bananas.

This mousse comes together in minutes. Really just minutes. Everything goes into the food processor and is whipped into creamy, silky perfection. If you have never had avocado mousse (or pudding or whatever you want to call it), do not be afraid, I promise you it is a good thing - and it is good for your hips too.

Ingredients

Mousse

  • 4 large + very ripe avocados peeled and pitted
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate melted and lightly cooled
  • 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder I used Hershey's Special Dark
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee
  • 1/3 cup canned coconut milk (l used regular but lite works fine too)

Coconut Caramelized Banana

Instructions

  • Add the chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and microwave on 30 second intervals until melted and smooth, about 1 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Add the avocados, melted chocolate, dark cocoa powder, honey and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Take the instant coffee and using your fingers grind it together to make a fine powder. Add the instant coffee powder to the bowl. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the coconut milk and blend again until smooth and creamy. Spoon into glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but preferably 3 to 4. The mousse can be prepared 1 day in advance.
  • When ready to serve the mousse melt 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a skillet. Add 4 sliced bananas and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Add the coconut liqueur and vanilla; simmer 1 minute. Remove from the heat and spoon the warm bananas over the mousse. Sprinkle with toasted coconut and serve!
