This is a rather light treat, as we do not use butter, or cream, or eggs... well, not even chocolate. That's why it is great when you want to indulge, but not ruin your diet.
I love coffee, black, strong and tasty. Espresso-like. I need my shoot a couple times a day. I love chocolate. Dark, strong and deeply, rich cacao flavored.
Strong coffee and chocolate together in a recipe sound more than good to me. But, to make a mocca mousse, as Italian call this mix of coffee and chocolate, you usually need butter or cream. Not so good to have it a couple of times a day- sigh-.
When a few days ago I had an urgent need of a mocca custard, I remembered that there are other ways to make it without eggs, cream, or butter. Even without chocolate. Yes, it sounds really weird, but the magic ingredient in this recipe is avocado. That buttery fruit loses its flavor when mixed with cocoa and coffee, and in return, gives this dessert the perfect consistency. It doesn’t seem to, but this mousse is full of fruit.
