This recipe shows how to make a delicious and simple avocado chocolate mousse using only 3 ingredients. It's a great way to use up bruised or overripe avocados and create a healthy and decadent dessert.
When I feel over it all – overindulged, overtired and cooked out – I like to reset with a water fast or by eating only raw foods for a while. Whether that’s for a day, a week, or longer, I find that this period of eating simple whole foods is a restorative break for both body and mind, and I find it rather grounding, too.

To make a sugar syrup for this dish, simply dissolve 20g sugar in 10ml boiling water.Halve and stone the avocado, then scoop the flesh into a blender. Add the raw honey (or your choice of liquid sweetener) and raw cacao (or cocoa powder), and blitz smooth; if need be, add splash of water to achieve a creamy consistenc
