Chocolate Mousse

Something decadent, something good, something nutritious, something healthy, something that pleases everyone. What could one do to satisfy all of those somethings? Chocolate Mousse of course!
Just look at the ingredients below and tell me you are on your way to wholesomeness.
Pictured below you'll see: Almond Milk (fresh and not from a box). (Soaked) dates, pitted and the water in which they were soaked in. Raw Almond Butter. Organic Raw Cocoa powder along with Celtic Sea Salt, and Vanilla. Fresh Mint. And the secret ingredient - Avocado! I just must add... don't feed your household members vitamin supplements, feed them whole foods! This recipe gives lots of vitamin B, antioxidants and other great goodness. Good lord is this good!

This is a recipe Amy bachelor provided me that I am currently using though you can find many variants. If that is not enough to keep you in chocolate heaven then you might want to go check these links to Raw Chocolate Mousse. NOTE: I prefer starting with dates as the sweetener, after tasting if not sweet enough add, coconut sugar or other quality sweeteners, agave being last on my list.

Almond Milk

Yield: 4 cups
Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 cup almonds, soaked overnight in 3 cups of water with 2 drops of Nutmeg Young Living   essential oil
4 cups purified water
2 pitted dates
Pinch of Himalayan salt
Instructions:
1.Rinse and drain the almonds.
2.Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
3.To separate the milk from the pulp, squeeze the mixture through a cloth mesh bag or a double layer of cheesecloth. Reserve the pulp for recipes or freeze for later use.
4.Serve at room temperature or chilled. Store in a sealed glass jar for up to five days in the refrigerator.
Comments:
•Make thicker or thinner by adding more or less water to the blender.
•Create taste variations by adding one to two drops of Young Living Essential Oils to the    finished milk. Try ginger, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, Thieves or Christmas Spirit.

Comments:
•Try a different Young Living essential oil such as orange or tangerine.
•Try carob powder instead of cacao. It will be sweeter so use less dates.
