Jil wrote another "healthy food - post" for you, while I'm on the road:
enjoy!

Every
now and again there are those moments when you’d love to have
dessert, prepared in a quick and uncomplicated way, not tasting of
“substitute”, but giving you total deliciousness.
Because
the recent recipes required a little more time and maybe effort, I
give you an especially simple quick tip today. A healthy chocolate
pudding/mousse/something in between.
Main ingredient: avocado.
And
yes, the sweet part will follow.
After
having accidentally found, tested and slightly modified this recipe,
I eat this mousse virtually e v e r y d a y.
I’m serious!
I’ve
never had such a consumption rate of avocados, in the morning I’m
looking forward to my dessert in the evening, in one sitting I always
prepare enough for two days and even run to the grocery store come
hail, storm and snow (well, we haven’t had any of these in the last
weeks, but I’m sure I would).
Remains
to be seen when exactly I will have had enough of it, but at the
moment I am so full of avocado-chocolate-happiness (in fact I just
had another helping) that I simply have to show you this recipe!
And
you are going to try it, no excuses, no backtalk.
My
sister, possibly the biggest chocolate fan ever, critically tested it
and considered it excellent, no authority on this planet can offer
you a more discriminating taste check than this.
You
possible have to stop by a natural foods store, but once purchased
the ingredients will last for a while.
And
now finally, let’s get started!
You
will need:
1
ripe avocado
2-3
Tbsp pure cocoa powder
2
Tbsp blue agave syrup or 2-3 Tbsp honey (depending on sweetness)
1/2
Tbsp coconut oil
1.
Gently heat coconut oil (double boiler or microwave) until completely
liquid.
2.
In the meantime puree avocado, cocoa powder and agave syrup with a
mixer (all of you without a mixer: don’t worry! I don’t own one
either, I just use a fork every day to mix up everything. Takes a bit
longer, which should actually be done thoroughly, but it works just
the same)
3.
Add coconut oil, mix again (feel free to check the taste and possibly
add sweetener etc.) and place into refrigerator for at least half an
hour.
4.
Now shout:”Yeah, done in three steps!”.
The
longer you cool it the stiffer it is, not exactly like a classic
mousse, but super creamy, to die for!
If
you like to add some more fun, try the following:
Add
while mixing:
2
Tbsp chia seeds
or
1
Tbsp cinnamon,
or
some
vanilla extract,
or,
for a change,
a
little bit of cayenne pepper
or
else my absolute favorite (!),
add
a heaped Tbsp salted crunchy peanut butter; I never liked peanut
butter, but THIS…. ooooh myyy god!
Topping
Party, how about:
Fresh
berries
Some
melted or chopped semi-sweet chocolate
Chopped
nuts
Coconut
chips
Fruit
puree
(Please
enjoy this one to the max and sprinkle generously as you would with
frozen yogurt)
Everything
very simple, but because of its diversity I keep enjoying it.
Just
try things and create your own versions, have lots of fun and keep
sending me your verdicts, or else upload your results to Instagram
(mark me as @chillyjil), I always love seeing such posts!
Lots
of love,
Jil
