Why is it amazing? You will get a hoot watching this couple present a video recipe for the most amazing chocolate mousse you will ever make in the blink of an eye. Now about the amazing part, here is why. When you have a teenager in the home, and you are a health food nut, he or she will become very suspicious of you when you are in the kitchen. After all, if it does not look and feel like ordinary junk foods, or at least what they are accustomed to seeing as daily food fare in typical restaurants and markets, their eyebrows will rise and "no thanks" will be the response that you surely will get. Well I can promise you raised eyebrows but not from your teenager but from an amorous couple that make this presentation. The mousse is made using chocolate powder, I would stick to raw cacao powder for the max nutritional value, and to keep your blood sugar from spiking use raw dark agave (or yacon syrup) for a sweetener, I did and it was awesome. Of course, if you add the dairy whipped topping, you might consider using conventional powdered cocoa, as dairy will block the avalanche of health benefits found in powdered raw chocolate; cacao. I filled some funky wine glasses with the mousse and made 4 servings. Depending on how large the avacados and goblets the serving size can vary from 4 to 6 servings. Now if you are raw vegan, then you will surely say that I cheated by whipping up some fresh organic whipping cream with some added vanilla extract sweetened with again, agave as a topping. If you really whip your cream to the firmest consistency, but not dry, it will hold in your fridge for a day or two. Now back to my teenager, he thanked me and said he liked it, he NEVER knew that it came from the world of raw foods --(yes!). So enjoy!
