Don’t get the wrong idea, I have NOT turned into a vegan, organic loving healthy hippy.  I just suddenly have the time (and money after not going out this weekend) to organise my meals for the week ahead! I’m taking some of the less extreme pointers from Sarah Wilson’s “I Quit Sugar” book and going to try out some sugar free meals – more out of interest and boredom than anything else!

First of which is this Avocado & Chocolate Mousse which is sugar free and surprisingly good!

It’s still a treat of course, the sugar and chocolate is removed but replaced by rice syrup, coconut cream & stevia so is it really worth it….hmmm?? I don’t know, but still impressive given it’s based on avocado!

2 very ripe avocados

125ml chilled coconut cream (it has to be quite firm)

¼ cup of raw cacao powder

Granulated stevia (Wilson’s book suggests 1-2 teaspoons but I needed more like 3-4 for my taste)

2 teaspoons rice syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (I used more like 1-2 of cinnamon)

Pinch of salt

Whiz it all together with a bar mix of in a blender until smooth and taste. Add more stevia, coconut cream or whatever you like to get it to your taste. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.
