Fluffy Chocolate mousse

I am not usually a sweet tooth person. But off-late, I have been craving for chocolate. Had avocado banana and cocoa in my pantry :) -that's what you need to make yummy vegan mousse.

Ingredients:

• Banana-1 big


• Avocado-1 medium


• Maple syrup-1 Tbsp


• Coconut oil melted-1 tsp


• Light coconut milk-2 Tbsp


• Cashews-45 gms


• 2 pinches salt


• Raw cacao powder-3 Tbsp


• 100 gms chocolate chips melted

Method:

• Blend everything apart from the choc chips until fluffy and add to the melted chocolate chip mixture. Fold until they are mixed well, chill them for an hour/so and serve.


• Top with Hazelnut meal


• I was too tempted to taste it so had 2 spoonfuls before I realized I had forgotten to take a pic ;)

Hazelnut Cacao Bombshell (dark choc version)

Today was the last day with my favorite class. Decided to make something for the kids. Thought about cheesecake(vegan, of course) but decided to make something easier (yes, I was feeling very lazy-not my fault-such a cold winter day). Had medjool dates(10), hazelnut meal(1 cup), cacao(1/4 cup-yeah super rich).  Put them in a food processor, sprinkled water when needed until they came to 'Yeah okay, we will stick together' consistency. Added broken bits of cashews (10), 2 tbsp of desiccated coconut, shaped them, dusted them with hazelnut meal and supposed to refrigerate them for an hour. I did not refrigerate them cos it was super cold outside :P. Took me 20 mins to make them.

I know what you are thinking. Not great shape but they were amazing :)
