Ingredients

  • 450 g avocado flesh (about 3 large avocados)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup cold strong black coffee
  • chocolate-coated coffee beans

Method

  • 1
    In a food processor, combine avocado flesh, cocoa, vanilla, maple syrup and coffee. Process until smooth and glossy. You will have to stop and scrape down the sides several times.
  • 2
    Divide between glasses, garnish with chocolate-coated coffee beans, roughly chopped, and serve.

Notes

This dessert can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge (the coffee flavour develops the longer it is left). As this mousse is quite rich, a little goes a long way!
