Almost 3 years, I got Mike hooked on the Love Mousse. And just like love itself, it's always sweeter when it's shared.
It’s Valentine’s Day, the day of celebrating all things love…and all things chocolate!
Because I love you and want you to get your chocolate fix in the healthiest way possible, today I am giving you my beloved Avocado Chocolate LOVE Mousse recipe.
It’s vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and, depending on your sweetener, raw as well.
But why do I call it the LOVE mousse?
Well, first, it has a bunch of natural aphrodisiacs in it.
– Raw Cacao– Having more antioxidants than green tea or red wine, raw cacao also contains a stimulating chemical known as phenylethlamine that stimulates the sense of excitement and well being, and arginine, a natural aphrodisiac.
– Raw Maca– Navitas Naturals states, Maca has long been used to increase stamina, boost libido, and combat fatigue for good reasons. The root is a superb adaptogen, as it enables the body to more easily adapt to and regulate stress factors imposed upon it. Studies have also identified four alkaloids present in maca, which are known to nourish the endocrine system (the system in the body which is responsible for the production and maintenance of hormones)
– Omega 3’s from Avocados and Coconut Butter– These healthy fats help to promote feelings of well-being, keep you well lubricated, and keep your hormones in check…all which help keep that loving feeling going strong!
Second, not only does this mousse taste crazy good, it is completely healthy. Nothing says love like health! You can feel good about serving this to anyone you love…friends, family, you name it!
Is it possible that this mousse locked in my Michael a few short years ago? Who knows! But I still make it for him just for good measure (and make sure to enjoy a delicious serving myself).
Now get going and whip up some for the one you love most. By the way, it’s totally acceptable and even encouraged to make some for yourself. You deserve it!
Lots of love from me to you, today and everyday! xoxo

Feel free to dress this mousse up however you want; you can add nuts, pieces of dark chocolate, sprigs of mint …lots of possibilities here. It also tastes yummy even if you don’t have maca or lucuma available…I just think they add a nice soemthin=somethin’ to it. Enjoy!!
