Raw Vegan Chocolate Cinnamon Mousse

vegetarian vegan raw dairy_free gluten_free egg_free soy_free blender
  • 4 ripe organic avocados - halved, pit removed and discarded, flesh scooped out
  • 1/2-3/4 cup raw cacao powder or cocoa powder (this will vary according to the cocoa powder used)
  • 3/4 - 1 cup of raw agave nectar, to taste
  • 3 Tbsp raw almond butter OR 1/4 cup coconut cream
  • 2 Tbsp natural non alcoholic vanilla extract or 1 tsp regular extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 pinches of Celtic sea salt or Himalayan salt
  1. Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender (I use a Vitamix) and puree until smooth. You may need to use your tamper or spatula, scrape the sides of the blender and pulse a few times. This mixture gets very thick.
  2. Spoon into glasses and chill for a couple of hours before serving. YUM!

Serves 4 - 6

Piggy Cooking Tips

the best way to clean your blender

After blending up something sticky, gooey or smelly, just place a few drops of soap in the carriage with some warm water and blend on high until all of the congealed food slips away from the blades and sides. Then repeat this process. Then rinse with water and presto! Clean carriage. 
If you have smells or stains repeat this process with some bicarbonate of soda or lemon juice and water. 
Check out the video on A No Hassle Way To Clean Your Blender that I did as part of the Chow Tips Series.
