Avocado Chocolate Mousse
4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes + chilling time
Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and mashed
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings:
Fresh raspberries or berries
Chocolate shavings
Whipped cream (or coconut whipped cream for dairy-free)
Chopped nuts
Instructions:
Combine Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the mashed avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend Until Smooth: Process the mixture until incredibly smooth and creamy. It should have a thick, pudding-like consistency. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
Chill: Transfer the mousse into individual serving bowls or a larger dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
Serve: Before serving, top with your favorite optional toppings like fresh berries, chocolate shavings, whipped cream, or chopped nuts.
Tips:
Picking Avocados: Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure.
Sweetness: Adjust the amount of maple syrup based on the ripeness of the avocado and your desired level of sweetness.
Variations: Experiment with a hint of orange zest, a pinch of cinnamon, or a dash of espresso powder for extra flavor dimensions.

Mac & Cheese - Carol Hilker
In another profession I used to cook vast amounts of this incredibly versatile crowd pleaser so the look on my face when this job landed was a broad smile. Picture research for a book on Mac & Cheese - yes please!
The 60 recipes created by Carol Hilker are so diverse and yet all really simple. There are mouth watering classics for your family and friends to incredible combinations like lobster or sriracha and prawns creating a lovely zingy taste sensation. I made the classic oven baked mac n cheese for my tennis finals day and it went in a heartbeat.
All recipes are in everyone's culinary scope and incredibly cost effective. Finding the photographs was a real blast and who knew you could make waffles from macaroni!
