Summary: Learn the ingredients necessary to make vegan chocolate mousse using avocados in this free instructional video on cooking and making vegan dessert recipes.
" So I'm using 4 ripe avocados and putting them all in the food processor this one is a little bit hard it is going to be okay. Now when you make this for your friends or family don't tell them it is avocado there is a preconceive notion. I just need something to wipe my hands. Thank you. Because if you don't tell them they would never know I have been making this for years and I don't tell them. I don't even tell them after they eat it I call them like about a week after the dinner party because they always want the receipt. So I got the avocado my 4 ripe avocados and I'm going to add a cup of a guava nectar a low glycemic sweetener made from the cactus plant from which they actually make tequila. That is right. I'm going to pour that right in there. This only has 4 ingredients how easy is that and I'm going to add pure vanilla extract, I prefer a alcohol free extract in my desserts I just think that it taste better. Some people like that little alcohol thing going on I don't. You could also use a fresh vanilla bean so we are going to put a tablespoon in and I'm using raw carob powder. Carob is a Mediterranean fruit, it taste very much like chocolate so people that can't eat chocolate or don't want to I can eat chocolate but you know I'm a little hyper as it is and chocolate I think and sugar also makes me even more hyper but when you taste the carob powder I think it is actually sweeter then coco powder, it is not bitter, and I think taste just as good if not better. T hat is all I did I put everything in the food processor, I push the button. Now ever now and then you might want to scrap the sides down because if you have any of those green chunks in there they are going to wonder what the heck is going on with there chocolate mousse. Blend it to you could see no more green again you could make a pie out of this but who could wait. What I like to do is take fresh fruit and just dip it like a fondue. And this is great for people who are hypoglycemic. Oh my god of course. Watching there sugar. You know people who have migraines often can't eat chocolate, people who have anxiety often can't eat chocolate. This taste. It looks and feels like chocolate. That is so good. This became this. Chill it, it is going to be even banana in here oh you could make a fantastic pie. I don't know if you are allow to double dip but I will let here."
