Serving Suggestions
This chocolate mousse can be served as a dessert, or any time of day when you wish to enjoy a beautiful treat :-)
*For a milder taste, just start with 4 tablespoons of cacao powder and add to your liking until it tastes perfect!
*A chocolate mousse made of avocado and cacao is satisfying and is best served with fresh fruit and berries. This way the mousse is served in a smaller portion, while the fruit lifts the taste.
*For a children’s party, arrange small fruit bowls for the kids and serve with a sprinkle of orange juice. If preferred, replace the cacao (which contains a stimulating flavour) with carob and serve the chocolate mousse in a bowl on the side. Then your young ones can taste it with a spoon and quickly decide if they want it as topping on their fruit bowl or not!
*Additional flavorful seasonings that can also be added to this chocolate mousse is vanilla extract, lemon juice and a pinch salt to enhance flavour.
**For chocolate sauce, add 1/4-1/2 cup water.
**For chocolate ice cream, freeze the mousse and let it melt a little before serving.
