Luscious Raw Chocolate Mousse

The Kosher Soul Gourmet blogzine is coming together, so it will be poppin' soon. It will cover food news, food reviews,The KosherChick food column, recipes for delicious kosher cuisine, Jewish food from around the world, and raw food.

On another note...I made a FABULOUS raw chocolate mousse this morning. I want to share the recipe with you. It is the true definition of kosher soul! Don't let the fact that it is raw scare you off. If you do not have all raw ingredients don't sweat it...the mousse can be semi-raw and still better for you than the usual chocolate mousse. The recipe is from raw food guru, Jennifer Cornbleet.

RAW CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

1/4 cup pitted medjool dates, soaked
1/4 cup pure maple sugar
1/2 cup vanilla extract
1 1/2 mashed avocados
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup water

Place the dates, maple syrup, and vanilla in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the avocados and cocoa powder and process until creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with spatula. Add the water and process briefly. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in the frig in a sealed refrigerator, will keep for 3 days.
