Chocolate dessert

As promised here’s my marvellous paleo chocolate dessert. It’s very easy to make and quite versatile: folding in a couple of beaten egg whites would turn it into a chocolate mousse and would increase the protein content, freezing it for 30min/1 hour turns it into a sort of ice-cream – don’t leave it for hours as it becomes too hard.

Ingredients:

·      1 large ripe avocado

·      1 can of coconut milk

·      4 tbsp of cacao powder

·      2/3 tbsp of agave syrup depending on how sweet you like it

·      1 tbsp of coconut flour

·      1 tsp of vanilla extract

Method:

Add everything to a food processor and blitz, add a bit of water to loosen it if you find it too solid – some coconut milks are more liquid than others so it depends on the brand you’re using.

Adding a bit of coconut oil would help it firm up and would make it suitable for piping onto cakes.

You can see, my coconut milk was quite "dry" so I ended up adding 2 couple of tablespoons of water to loosen the whole thing. 

My eldest son said it was "yummy-yummy" and trust me, he isn't one of those kids that choose to have smoked mackerel pate with olives for lunch... If the little rascal likes it, it must be pretty good.

PS: I added some cacao nibs on top as they're delicious and add a little crunch.
