I was so unprepared to go back to uni this year. For starters I didn’t realise we went back a week early until the Saturday before, so I turned up to my first class with a highlighter and a notebook from last year with half the pages ripped out. I sat down in the wrong room, finally arrived to my class 20 minutes late and had to sit by myself in the front row. I’m a smooth operator what can I say.
For another class I have a presentation that I haven’t started due next week, where I’m pretty sure I have to do a standup poetry and video performance in front of the class…lord help.
As a result of my study stresses I’ve been making this chocolate mousse on a weekly basis. The only thing standing between me and chocolate mousse every day for breakfast is the price of avocados! I mean come on green grocers. 2 avocados for $10 is not a laughing matter.
The other day as I was preparing to watch an entire season of Supernatural instead of reading my TORTS cases, I struck upon chocolate mousse gold. It was so amazing I had to instagram it before I’d even eaten it! Noooo way.
I had decided to take it down the Mexican chocolate road and added a pinch of cinnamon, a teeny tiny bit of ginger and the TINIEST little wisp of chilli. It was a flavour explosion in my mouth, all I’m going to say. With a sprinkling of fresh raspberries on top you can’t really get any closer to chocolate heaven.
I promised myself this week I would try and make something without chocolate for the blog. But then I realised it’s been two whole weeks since I posted a chocolate recipe! That’s not right and it sure isn’t normal, so chocolate mousse get in my belly. Also how cute is my new rose teacup! The family I babysit for gave it to me as a present and I got way overexcited…I might have scared the children a bit. You can play with the flavourings of the mousse to suit your preferences. Even leaving out the spices all together tastes great. My favourite at the moment is just with cinnamon and almond milk, but I can imagine a little vanilla wouldn’t go astray.

It looks lovely- super creamy and chocolatey!
Thanks!
There’s nothing like blogging and cooking when studying 😉 haha
I’m so happy you shared this recipe! I saw your pic on Instagram and that seriously made me CRAVE chocolate mousse! Looks so delicious!
Thank you! Just wish I had more ripe avocados to make more!
Beautiful post – love the cute, flowery mug! 😉 Makes the whole set-up so classy, I want to sit down and have some tea! 😉 I love to make avocado or banana based chocolate mousse too! So good! I also tried once a recipe with silken tofu, not bad either. It was a bit more liquid though 😉 hugs, Sylvia
Thank you Sylvia! Avocados make the mousse so thick and creamy! But silken tofu mousse is pretty great too 🙂
Lovely mousse, I am a cinnamon fan as well it makes everything taste much better. Wow 2 avocados for 10 buck! I am always complaining when they are 1 for a dollar or go up 2 for 5! Wow that’s way to much!
Cinnamon is the best! I know luckily I found 3 for $4 somewhere else but still! It’s crazy
Yeouch! $10 for two avo’s! I thought they were pricey when they are $2.99 each here!
Your recipe looks delicious too btw 🙂
I know it’s crazy! Thank you 🙂
I love avocado chocolate mousse (:
you have a beautiful blog, I’ve just been perusing you’re posts and it ‘s made me very happy!
Aw thank you Lana! I love chocolate avo mousse as well 🙂
This sounds amazing!! I love chocolate mousse, and the cinnamon and raspberries sound like delicious additions.
Thank you Rachel!
beautiful tea cup presentation!
Thank you!
Avocados and chocolate!! A combo I have yet to try! I have seen this a lot lately. Love that you added a Mexican flare 😉 cinnamon and chocolate go so well together… Never gets enough attention. Thanks for sharing will have to try this!!
Thank you! I love Mexican spices they’re so tasty 🙂
I loved making this type of mousse and I should try it again! Your avocados are so expensive! Ours cost the same in Rands – which is less than a dollar for 2 🙂
OMG I’m so jealous! Love avocado mousse 🙂
Oh these pictures are just so pretty! Love the little cups you used. I’ve made avocado chocolate mousse with mango, but never banana – great idea!
Wow mango sounds so interesting! i have to try that next time. Thanks!
Love those tea cups! So pretty! and the mousse looks Scrumptious 😉
Thank you!
how many would you suggest this serves – two or four? Looks delicious
Hi Hannah sorry forgot to include that in the recipe – I’d say three to four, but if you’re making it for breakfast then just two 🙂
