Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

We are fortunate that where we live in Hong Kong we have an Avocado tree right outside our front door.  What do you do with so many Avocadoes when your children don’t want to eat them?  I simply made a chocolate mousse and served it up.  Who can resist Chocolate right?  I didn’t tell them until the end of the meal (and had asked for more). 

Serves 2

Ingredients:

1 tbsp. milk (dairy free of course)

1 avocado

1 tsp water

2 tbsp. cacao powder

2 tbsp. honey or agave syrup or maple syrup

Pinch of salt (optional)

Method:

Simply combine all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. 

Taste and add more sweetener if you desire.

Divide between 2 dishes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. 

I serve this with fresh fruit.

Additional Notes:

The mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Equipment Used:

Food Processor

Serving Dishes.

Freezing Notes:

Use frozen avocado in this pudding. Defrost and then follow the recipe before baking.

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals.
