I've become a little bit of a public library fanatic this summer. Initially it was all to keep myself entertained cheaply while I'm on a budget, but now I love the library so much I don't know why I'd ever stop using it. From books to movies to cookbooks to tv series my library has provided me with a lot of time filler this summer.
Last time I was there I happened to pick up Sheryl Crow and her chef's cookbook (I know how ridiculous this sounds - a rock star cookbook?). Anyways it is Shut the Front Door good. Tons of healthy ideas - vegan, vegetarian, meaty - and all done by the season.
The first recipe I tried out was for a chocolate mousse made with avocado (hello breast cancer fighting superstar). This mousse is so chocolate-y I might have to cut back on the cocoa powder a little next time. It also uses agave nectar which amps up the healthy since it is a low GI sweetener.
Serves 3-4
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup agave nectar
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla
Put all ingredients in food processor.
Blend until smooth and add more agave if not sweet enough.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour before eating.
I think this is perfect with some raspberries on top to help mesh with the extreme chocolate fix you get here.
