What is Monk Fruit?

Monk fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, is a small melon native to Southeast Asia that is commonly used as a natural sweetener due to its compounds that are 150–200 times sweeter than sugar yet contain no calories.

Ingredients:                                                                           

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener (adjust based on your sweetness preference) 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

2-3 tbsp almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

In a blender or food processor, combine the avocados, cocoa powder, monk fruit sweetener, vanilla extract and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.

Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Garnish with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa nibs or shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
