Serves 4
Ingredients

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or 1/4 cup dark chocolate squares;

1/4 cup boiling water;
1 tbsp vanilla extract;
1/4 tsp flavored extract (almond, mint, coffee, etc.);

Chocolate mousse preparation
Preparation

In a medium skillet over a low heat, melt the chocolate. Stir frequently to prevent the chocolate from burning. Add in the coconut milk and whisk together until blended.
In a small bowl, mix the hot water with the ground coffee beans.
Combine the melted chocolate, coffee mixture, vanilla extract and flavoured extract.
Pour the mixture into 4 small dessert dishes, or two larger ones. Espresso cups are the perfect size to make 4 servings.
Place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, or even overnight to allow them to become firm. Bon apetit!

Chovocado Pudding

1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup raw agave nectar (honey will work)
1/4 cup coconut milk (almond milk will work)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Peel and quarter a ripe avocado. Put all the ingredients in blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Serve and enjoy!

*This recipe is perfect for two servings.

I have added half a banana for chocolate banana pudding as well, or try it with a little coarse sea salt on top or with a little orange zest adds a nice flavor.

I know it sounds weird but its really good, I made some today
