You definitely want to keep the night as fun as possible, without the stomach ache that comes with the alternatives in your freezer.

Ingredients Needed to Make the Cho-Cado Mousse
- 2 whole ripe avocados, pitted and skinned

- 1/2 cup coconut cream (if you are using canned coconut milk, use regular and not the “light” version)
- 1/4 tsp gluten-free vanilla extract
- A Pinch of Himalayan sea salt
- Any Sweetener of choice
- If you are using a liquid sweetener like honey or real maple syrup, use 1/4 cup.
- If you are using a granulated sweetener like stevia, add to taste.
- If you are using a granulated sweetener like coconut sugar, add to taste.
- Optional: If the mixture starts to get too thick, you can add up to ¼ cup almond milk to thin it a bit.
- Optional add-ins include cayenne pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, nut butter, peppermint extract, coconut butter or collagen peptides.
Instructions
- Blend all the ingredients thoroughly in a blender or food processor until the mixture becomes smooth. If needed, feel free to add more cacao powder or more sweetener of choice. Enjoy the libido boosting mousse dipped with strawberries, or by the spoonful.
