SERVES 4

This mousse is the perfect dessert for when you’ve forgotten to make dessert! A refreshing, healthy and easy twist on the classic crowd-pleaser, this dessert is so simple and yet so delicious. The mint washes away the sins of any feast, and it is one of the easiest herbs to grow. Every home garden should have some mint growing in it. It can thrive in a large pot if you only have a sunny little balcony or windowsill.

USE

  • 4 large avocados, peeled, halved and stone removed
  • 20 g mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 235 g honey
  • 105 g cacao powder
  • 125 ml coconut cream
  • Pinch of sea salt

DO

  1. Place all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture into serving glasses. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Oh and if you like crunch, add some cacao nibs to the top just before serving. We often replace the mint with half a teaspoon of finely chopped fresh chillies – chocolate and chilli were made for each other!
