About the Recipe
No bake decadent Chocolate-Cherry Mousse with a surprise kick of cinnamon-cayenne!
Optional whipped aquafaba adds cloud-like fluff!
Raw cacao powder is made from unroasted beans, retaining more nutrients and bitter flavor. Cocoa powder is roasted, often sweetened & more processed.

2 cups pitted dark sweet cherries (frozen); reserve ½ cup cherries for garnish
2 ripe avocados
1 large banana
1/2 cup coconut or raw agave nectar
1/2 cup raw cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch each cayenne and sea salt
1 cup aquafaba to make more fluffy (optional), Aquafaba is the whipped liquid from cooked chickpeas, used as an egg white substitute.
Preparation
Add all ingredients to food processor (except ½ cup cherries) and pulse.
Blend until smooth.
Transfer mousse to individual serving dishes or 1 large dish.
Chill in fridge for 2 hours. You can also freeze it to make an ice-cream like mousse.
