Chocolate mousse with avocado recipe
Recipe by Anna and Roger Wilde
The festive season is just around the corner. It is a time to be with family and friends, to eat and to be merry. I think there is a perception that healthy food is boring. Nothing can be further from the truth.
Healthy recipes can be delicious, quick and easy to prepare and enjoyed by the entire family. There are even yummy and healthy desserts for those that have a sweet tooth. That’s why I chose to share this avocado chocolate mousse recipe, which is dairy and gluten free.
This is one of my favourite go to recipes and is always a winner. The bonus, it’s so easy to make! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
