This is one of my daughter's favorite recipes! She can not eat any dairy, so regular chocolate mousse is out! I have been making this dark chocolate, avocado mousse for her for years, and I actually prefer it over the regular choco mousse any day. It is so rich and creamy, sweetened with dates and a little pure maple syrup and loaded with healthy fats from the avocado. I always add reishi mushroom powder for a little immunity boost and extra nutrition! We enjoy it topped with berries, shredded coconut, and a little Cranberry Almond + Lucuma Crumble
