This cream, which many may also call mousse, is a variation of the (now) classic avocado and cocoa cream, made only with healthy ingredients and is easy and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Avocado - is the main ingredient that will make this dessert creamy; I usually use 1/2 avocado per person as a measure, but it will also depend on the amount of pulp obtained from each fruit after removing the core (some avocados have large cores and little pulp).

Vanilla - is an optional ingredient, but I like to include it in many of my desserts; if there is a possibility, it is always better to use natural vanilla extract or vanilla paste (unfortunately they are more expensive than the artificial kind sold in most supermarkets).

Milk - can be used of any kind; in most of my desserts (and also in other sweet recipes), I use vegetable milk (drinks) mainly oats and almonds.

Cocoa - is what will give that chocolate mousse color and flavor, expected from a recipe like this; it can also be replaced by chocolate powder.

Sugar - in this case, I used coconut sugar, but alternatives are agave, yellow or brown sugar; I have also prepared this cream by sweetening it with maple syrup.

Cinnamon - depending on taste, more cinnamon can be added; I preferred that the flavor of this spice didn't overlap the other flavors present, so I used only 1/4 teaspoon (approximately the equivalent of a coffee spoon).

White chocolate - is an optional ingredient, and this cream can be served simply or with another topping (like chopped walnuts, almonds or hazelnuts, ground cookies, puffed rice, ...)

How to make

After mashing the avocado until it becomes a soft cream, just add and mix the remaining ingredients, divide into several containers and serve, decorating with a topping of your choice.
