Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse

by Averie @ Averie Cooks on October 22, 2009

How are you doing today?  I’m doing great, one more day til the weekend!  Woo-hooo! 

One cool thing that happened Wednesday is that I found a hair girl who actually did my hair the way I wanted it done.  Remember that I was bee-otching about my last trip to the salon?  Well, I found a girl who not only did my hair the way I want it which is blond highlights without using bleach, but she was actually lightning fast and really reasonable.  Triple bonus!

Look at the color, not the style.  The style is a mess from just having whipped up another batch of kale chips and it had been up in a pony.

Put camera over head, push button.  This is whatcha get.  You’re probably like, spare me.

Moving right along to the mail.  My “Eat Raw Live Long” shirt showed up.  I had seen a certain Adorable Raw Girl named Gena wearing one, and had to get in on that raw retail action.  

Note Skylar primping her hair.  My little natural blond was showing me her highlights.  Monkey see, monkey do.

I ordered a size larger than I thought I probably needed on the tshirt. And indeed, it’s a little baggy.  But I’d rather go for baggy than boobalicious, if you know what I mean.  I am kinda past the skintight shirt scene.  Plus it’s good for lounging around.  You know me, lounging around eating Ho-Ho’s and Bon Bon’s all day.

Kidding, but I do eat and create are lots of raw vegan chocolate desserts!

So moving off the girl talk and onto the grub, I am so happy that you liked the Raw Vegan Chocolate Coconut Snowballs Recipe I posted.  Sooooo easy, so yummy about midnight when that pesky chocolate craving strikes.

Raw Vegan Chocolate Coconutty Heaven

As long as we’re talking about Chocolate Desserts, let’s just go all out with another Raw Vegan Chocolate Dessert Recipe….

….Averie’s Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse
This recipe of mine comes to you by way of a guest post that I recently did on Deb’s Blog while she was off galavanting through Europe.  What a lucky girl!  No, actually I was the lucky one because I was flattered that Deb asked me to post on her bloggie in her absence.

Here’s the recipe snippet from that post:
This recipe has been relayed and parlayed more times than you can shake a stick at, but this is my personal rendition of Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse.  Bring this to a dinner party or a potluck or serve it as frosting on top a birthday cake and trust me, no one will think it’s raw, vegan, or remotely healthy.

Averie’s Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse
Combine in Vita-Mix or Food Processor
2 ripe avocados
1/2 c agave
1/4 c cocoa powder

Optional:
2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
Dash Vanilla Extract

Blend until smooth and dig outta the canister

Put in container and chill in fridge, or freeze to make it really decadent like a thick mousse-ey ice cream, or make it pretty and do it up parfait style in glasses alternating layers of choco mousse and strawberries or other fruit.  Or as I mentioned, you can even thin it out a smidge more with an extra dash of agave and this will become your go-to frostingSerious.

Enjoy!

And if anyone wants to really go crazy with chocolate, my Raw Vegan Brownies are mouthgasmic!

Recipe and step-by-step instructions are here.  But you can feast your eyes on these chocolate mouthgasm pics first.

See I told you that was alot of chocolateRaw Vegan Chocolate Coconut Snow Balls, Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse, and Raw Vegan Chocolate Brownies.  All raw, all vegan.  All freakin’ delish!

But moving along to something I didn’t make and that wasn’t solely chocolate, feast your eyes on the Pro Bars.

These bars are really satisfying to me, they aren’t gone in 2 little bites like some other bars seem to be, they are organic, vegan, and high raw (the Original Line).  Hello, perfect!  I love them!

There’s the Fruition Line

Note the No GMO and All Vegan Status

  • Two servings of fruit in every bar
  • Snack Size: 160 calories per bar
  • 4 grams of fiber, 2 grams of fat
  • Certified Organic by QAI
  • Dense with antioxidants and Omegas from Chia Seeds

And the Art’s Original Pro Bar line which is

  • Delicious meal replacement
  • Certified Organic, 100% Vegan
  • Rich in Raw foods – 70% Raw
  • Good source of Omega 3 and 6
  • 8-12 g of plant based protein

And the Sweet & Savory line which is

  • Gourmet meal replacement
  • Salty Sweet flavor combinations
  • Balanced blend of carbs, good fats and protein
  • Certified Organic, 100% Vegan
  • 5 g of fiber and all the same nutritional benefits as our Original Collection

So I Give Two thumbs up for Pro Bars, yay! 

Things today were brought to you in VeganMofo spirit.

Yoga Today is Side Crane, aka Parsva Bakasana.

Tip of the Day:  The Healthy Diva’s Give Away

Meredith’s Give Away

What’s your strategy for returning things or asking for your money back?  If you get served a crappy meal in a restaurant, do you ask for money off?  If you buy a dozen mushy apples, do you bring 11 back and ask for a refund?  What about bad services, like hair appointments gone wrong?  The original salon where I got my hair done won’t give me my money back.  Instead, they want to “fix my hair”.  I told them that would be like returning to the scene of the crime, and now why would I do that?  So I guess I’m out my loot.  In these economic times and the older I get, the more unashamed I am about asking for refunds or credits.  What’s your approach?

Stay Tuned For Lotsa Kale Chips and a Flashback Friday Pic or Two…

I would really enjoy winning these, – basically because we may have some whoopass vegan spreads here, but not sooo many other cool vegan things (yet, – I hope this will change and more goodies will finally come our way :) )

Aaand entry #2 for number 5:

I like that there's Chia seeds in the fruition bars, – over here in Germany we still aren't allowed to buy chia, – which really sucks, – so that is something I would even more LOVE to try the Fruition bars for.
Because coming from a family with a background of cardio-vascular diseases, I need all the help I can get to stay and keep my family healthy.

Hi! I have just found you blog and I have to say it is absolutely amazing! Also coming from my mom, which is quite used to a more traditional style of cooking (eggs,butter and all that), she always keeps asking me for ways she could replace ingredients so she could make it less caloric :D

One question on your Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse – would it be possible to switch the agave with honey? Agave nectar is quite expensive where I live unfortunately and on a student budget there’s only so many healthy things I can afford..

Reply

240 Averie @ Averie Cooks May 2, 2012 at 1:52 am

If it’s easier for you to use honey, go for it. Thanks for reading and for the nice compliments!
