Beware the Falling Avocados, Making Mondays Marvellous

And we go back to the beginning…

Beware the Falling Avocados is available as an eBook or paperback from Saturday 18 June. Here is the first chapter, in which we return to Zambia after a month’s holiday in the UK and I encounter creepy-crawlies in the dark…

Chapter1

Avocado cooking - 4 of 4In my last post I promised that I would share some avocado recipes. I do not claim to be a chef, so you will discover a number of my recipes are haphazard, made up of what I can find in the cupboard to substitute for not having x, y or z. (That may also explain some of my children’s comments…)

As we are going ‘back to the beginning’ today, here is the first one I made with all the right ingredients. It was quite some time ago, and more done out of intrigue as a friend had posted it on Facebook. So, in my house, it is quite simply known as Anneliese’s Chocolate Mousse.

Take 1 banana, 1 avocado (recommend ripe fruit, ready to be mashed), 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 2-3 dessert spoons of honey, 1/4 cup water and a splash of vanilla essence. Put all ingredients into a bowl and blend well.

Put into small pots, refrigerate and (a little later) serve!

I like recipes that are this simple. The children liked it too – not leaving any for me to lick out of the bowls. (Their verdict may be swayed by it being chocolate.) It is also both gluten- and dairy-free.

Withenay score: ???

Why not give it a try and let me know what you think?

 

Don’t forget: Beware the Falling Avocados is available as a paperback and eBook from 18 June 2016.
