Chocolate avocado mousse

I've just finished reading Rich Roll's autobiography 'Finding Ultra'. Towards the end he talks about a meal they had and said about a chocolate avocado mousse. Intrigued I looked it up and found the recipe courtesy of Food52 (http://food52.com/) and tonight I made it. 

It's quite interesting as avocado is quite a strong flavour and mixed with chocolate seemed odd but it was actually pretty good.

The kids didn't like it but they don't like avocado either! It's worth a go for something different. The recipe is

- a couple of avocado's
- 3-6 table spoons of cocoa powder
- 1/2 a tin of coconut milk
- 1tsp of vanilla extract
- 3-4 table spoons of syrup (you can also use honey or nectar)
- a pinch of sea-salt

Basically mix it all together then spoon into bowls and chill before serving. You can garnish with nuts or some orange pieces and zest.
