Chocolate avocado mousse

We’re big fans of this nutrient-rich version of a classic dessert, which hides a healthy secret! Avocados are loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids and are a good source of fibre.

Serves 4 • Ready in 15mins, plus chilling

75g dark chocolate

100ml coconut cream

100ml honey or maple syrup

2tbsp cocoa powder

1tsp vanilla extract

2 ripe avocados shaved chocolate or cocoa powder and gold leaf, to decorate

1 break the chocolate into squares in a heatproof bowl. set over a pan of boiling water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl isn’t touching the water. once melted, add the coconut cream, honey, cocoa powder and vanilla, and stir until smooth.

2 Put the avocados into a blender or food processor and whizz with the melted chocolate mixture until it’s silky smooth.

3 Divide the mixture between 4 serving pots.

4 Chill in the fridge for at least 3hrs. top each mousse with a little chocolate or cocoa and gold leaf.
