Merry Christmas everyone and I wish you a wonderful time with your family! I hope you are feeling festive despite the circumstances and can enjoy the time with your loved ones.
Today I have another little Christmas inspiration for you. And because today is a very special day, I let my creativity run wild and decorated this super deliciouschocolate mousse with a Christmas tree.
As the base, I used avocado for the mousse. It provides a lot of high-quality fat,three-quarters of it consists of double unsaturated fatty acids, which are balm for the heart and blood vessels. It also provides the highest B vitamins in fruits and doesn’t contain fructose. You’ll find more information of avocados below.
Have fun tryingit out!
