2 Tbsp. Nutiva Organic Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa
1 Tbsp. cacao powder
1 Tbsp. maple syrup or raw honey
1 Tbsp. canned coconut cream
1 avocado
Directions
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, you can mash the avocado with a fork in a bowl, then add cacao powder and maple syrup or honey.)

- Transfer to a small bowl and serve.
Liana’s tips:
- The mousse stores well overnight, so prepare it as a snack for the next day.
- Serve with fresh raspberries, strawberries or whole hazelnuts.
- To enhance the flavor, add 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract.
- Serve on top of ice cream or cupcakes.
