Avocado Chocolate Mousse

I got some avocados from Bangalore when we went to visit my new niece Anishka. I wanted to try recipes apart from milkshake because we've had them earlier and mousse is something I had tried earlier and did not work out very well; but with avocado it should work fine. It did turn out well...

Ingredients:

1. Ripe avocado - 1

2. Dates - 5

3. Cocoa powder - 3 tbsp

4. Hershey's chocolate syrup - 2 tbsp

Method:

Step 1: Soak the seedless dates in some warm water for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Scoop the pulp from the butter fruit into a mixer jar.

Step 3: Drain water from the dates and add it into the jar. 

Step 4: Add cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup and whip well until all the ingredients blends smooth. If the sweetness is not enough, add more chocolate syrup or some sugar and blend again.

Step 5: Spoon them into bowl and chill it until serving.

Step 6: Garnish with chocolate syrup or strawberry or nuts of your choice.
