I don't know about you, but I'm in love with avocados! If there is a way to incorporate them into a meal, I'm in! So when I saw some chocolate AVOCADO mousse recipes floating around, I got excited. Avocados are packed with GOOD fats & have anti-inflammatory properties. Why not make a velvety decadent dessert out of them!

Use with fruit as a dip, put it in a cute little cup & sprinkle goodies like nuts, seeds, shredded coconut & fruit on top, make a parfait, use as crepe filling, or just eat it right out of the food processor :)
