    Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse


    My recipe for Silky Chocolate Avocado Mousse is the perfect Valentine’s Day dessert plan!.. (recipe video too!)

    The perfect wellness date night for Valentine’s Day or any day?.. Chocolate + a massage! I mean what more do you need in life? Well, ok, a lot. But for a perfect date-night-in, or Valentin’e Day plan, those two things are pretty perfect.

    This Silky Chocolate Avocado Chocolate Mousse is dairy-free and packed with healthy fats, plant-based protein and antioxidant-rich chocolate. Talk about a feel good treat!..

    So this Valentine’s Day, whip up a decadent chocolate treat.

    Why Get Massages?..

    “Well-designed studies have shown that massage can reduce levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol, improve joint function and reduce pain in people with osteoarthritis, temporarily reduce muscle soreness after hard exercise, and speed healing of sore, overworked muscles by reducing inflammation and otherwise amplifying the muscle cells’ repair process.” – NYTimes

    And massage doesn’t need to be from a professional… “Dr. Field points out, massage techniques can be taught. “People within families can learn to massage each other,” she said. “If you can teach parents to massage kids, couples to massage each other. This can be cost effective.”” – WELL Blog NY Times

    Enter, Melt Massage Video Series. One way to learn professional massage tips and techniques is via the Melt Massage Video Series. Massage, like anything, is a skill and can be taught! Melt Massage is an online educational tool to teach you the art of massage – Click here to check it out!

    Vegan Chocolate Avocado Silk Mousse

    By Kathy PatalskyPublished 02/01/2016Vegan Chocolate Avocado Silk Mousse
    Rich and creamy, healthy delicious dessert treat with chocolate and buttery avocado.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup silken tofu
    • 1 medium avocado
    • ½ cup vegan chocolate chips, melted
    • 2-3 tablespoon maple or agave syrup
    • pinch of sea salt (optional)
    • chopped vegan chocolate – topping

    Instructions

    1. Melt your chocolate chips. I use a double broiler warming method or when in a hurry, the microwave works too — just be careful not to burn the chocolate! Tip: Adding a spoonful of coconut oil to the chocolate makes it extra rich and will make your mousse a bit firmer once it chills.
    2. Add the tofu, avocado and melted chocolate chips to a blender like a Vitamix and blend from low to medium-high until smooth and silky. You want the mousse to be free of any lumps or bits — silk.
    3. Do a quick taste test and add the sweetener and optional salt.
    4. Pour into serving cups and chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. Top with finely chopped or microplaned chocolate to serve.

    Yield: serves 4Prep Time: 00 hrs. 05 mins. Cook time: 00 hrs. 05 mins. Total time: 10 mins. Tags: chocolate,avocado,vegan,dessert,tofu,date night,easy,vitamix,blender

    Happy Valentine’s Day!
