Martin's Peruvian Kitchen's video: Chocolate Avocado Mousse AD

Hi, I’m Martin Morales, I’m a chef and restaurateur. We run the stunning Casita Andina and Ceviche Soho, Andina and Ceviche Old St restaurants. These are pioneering Peruvian restaurants in London. http://cevicheuk.com/ http://andinalondon.com/ This wonderful chocolate avocado mousse recipe, sponsored by our friends over at Avocados From Peru, is a guilt free way of treating the ones you love to a gorgeous vegetarian dessert! You might not think of avocados when you think of chocolate mousse, but their creamy texture and light flavour make them ideal for this dish. They are nutrient-dense, so you are getting a dose of your daily vitamins and minerals while enjoying a tasty treat. As well as the Peruvian avocados this dish is packed with super-food ingredients, including Peruvian pomegranates and dark chocolate (dark chocolate really can be a super-food when eaten in moderation), this is the perfect recipe when you are craving a rich and creamy dessert without all of the naughty stuff. It's dairy free, so perfect if you're lactose intolerant (remember to check the chocolate) and can easily be made vegan by substituting the honey for maple syrup. Give it a go and let me know how you get on in the comments box below.
