cacao & avocado mousse
i know it sounds very strange to put avocado in something sweet, but we think it’s definitely worth trying as using this is very creamy and we don’t think you can taste the veg – instead you taste deliciously chocolaty tones with sweet hints of dates and a little banana, then you get the crunchy almonds and the yoghurt and chocolate sauce.

1 ripe banana
the flesh of 1 large or 2 small avocados
5 tablespoons cacao powder
5-6 tablespoons almond milk, or coconut milk
