Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse

I usually relish avocado as is,but to get my kiddo eat Avocado,this mousse was the best disguise.My boy was totally clueless about avocados in all the luscious chocolaty goodness.
This wasn't exactly my first attempt to create a vegan mousse,the earlier experiment was a miserable flop,didn't ever want to combine chocolate with avocado.But when last week I bought these gorgeous bag of avocados on sale,in attempt to make avocados more appealing and kid friendly,I decided to give the choco-avo combo another go.This time I keep the cooking to minimum ,for Avocados tastes best when uncooked.The warmed up milk does the trick of melting the chocolate(kinda like truffles),rest is just blending and serving.To make this a healthy dessert or snack,can't stress enough to use the best quality dark chocolate,and keep low in sugar to get the most benefits of both avocado and cocoa.
