A Poet And His Famous Mousse
By Candes and Poet Gentry
I like to make it because it’s fun and easy and I love chocolate, so I like to add extra cocoa powder. I also like to add a variety of toppings because it tastes good. Some of my favorites are chocolate chips sweetened with monk fruit, cranberries sweetened with apple juice, and whip cream.

The first time we made my Famous Healthy Choc- olate Mousse, I was about 6 years old. I came up with the idea when I heard my family talking about chocolate mousse one night and I wanted to try to make it healthier because it sounded delicious. Everyone loved it and it became “famous” in our household.
POET’S FAMOUS HEALTHY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
Ingredients:
• 3/4 cup plant-based chocolate protein shake or organic choco-
late milk (reduced sugar)
• 2 tbsp agave (sweeten to taste) or 4 dates skinned and pitted • 2 tbsp organic cocoa powder
• 2 very ripe medium avocados
Note: To make it into a smoothie, increase liquid to 1 cup and add 1 cup of ice
Directions:
Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.
Serve in a fancy bowl or glass jar for a special dessert, you can even top it with whipped cream, fresh berries and cocoa nibs.
Here’s a tip: Make sure your avocados are ripe so the flavor isn’t as pungent. You can tell if they’re ripe because they’re slightly squishy.
