Who says superfoods can’t be dessert? Not me! This chocolate mousse is very rich and if you want to make it lighter then just forget about the hazelnuts and use an extra avocado instead. The avocado should whip up well making it a bit less dense.
I’ve used cacao nibs for extra texture and topped the dessert with them but if you want to cut down on ingredients then you can just dust the top with cacao powder.

1 cup of water
3 teaspoons of honey
