I love chocolate.
It’s my treat at the end of hard working ranch day.
Or even a non hard working ranch day!
Pairs well with wine, my other love!
So when I started cleaning up my diet and eliminating soy/corn/GMO/vegetable oils, finding chocolate that didn’t contain these ingredients proved very difficult.
(Most chocolate candy are made with soy or sun lecithin (to stabilize it) and corn syrup for sweetness.)
I struggled with finding chocolate I could eat until I found Trader Joe’s Honey Mints, NOW DISCONTINUED!! I have no idea how I’m going to survive! They were fabulous! But the powers to be at Trader Joes discontinued it.
In a desperate search to have a life-giving chocolate treat, I came across Adriana, a fellow Brazilian (you knew I was raised in Brazil didn’t you), now living in Hawaii.
Adriana also struggled with food inflammations, so she started creating recipes with healthy ingredients, and she developed an ebook, Living Healthy with Chocolate.
I’m so glad she did! She’s saved my life!! I now can make my own chocolate treats to enjoy at the end of a ranch day!
I made her Avocado Chocolate Mousse! It’s fabulous! Probably more fabulous that Trader Joe’s discontinued Honey Mints!
It’s a super easy recipe to make, with healthy ingredients, and a real treat!
I put together a video of Adriana’s photo of the Avocado Chocolate Mousse, because I ate all I made before I remembered to take photos!
The recipe includes avocado, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, vanilla extract and honey for the mousse.
The cups are made by melting dark chocolate and lining silicone molds or small muffin cups with the melted chocolate.
For the actual recipe, order the ebook. It includes this recipe plus hundreds more.
Now that I have Adriana’s recipes, I’ll be a happy rancher all the time!!
