Double-Duty Mousse or Dip

Ok ... I lied. Here's my second post and it's only been a few hours. This recipe was a complete accident. I threw a few things into the food processor and was amazed at the result. This makes a delightfully fluffy and light mousse with a wide variety of uses. I spiced up half and used it as veggie dip, and added Stevia to the other half and had it as a low-glycemic pudding/mousse. The color is divine and it's delicious!

  1. Oh my gosh! This couldn't have come at a better time! I'm thinking of doing a Daniel Fast this Letnen season and have had a hard time finding a good avocado dip base that wasn't a guacamole recipe in desguise :)
