Raw Chocolate Mousse
Raw chocolate mousse – try this my creamy and decadent chocolate dessert. A sensuously rich taste makes this chocolate mousse a delicious treat.
RAW CACAO – the nourishment of gods
Raw Cacao is considered by the Aztecs to be the nourishment of gods. It is also a super-food high in sulfur, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorous, calcium and potassium. In addition, raw cacao is rich in vitamin A, B, C, D, and E. Furthermore, raw cacao also contains antioxidants (the richest source of any food).
Raw Cacao is also an aphrodisiac; it contains high levels of tryptophan, the precursor to feel-good hormone serotonin, the happy hormone which affects positively your emotions, as well as dopamine and anandamide which increase feelings of bliss and well-being.
DATES – rich and moist
Dates are sweet and moist, and are rich in carbohydrates, iron, magnesium, potassium and fiber. I love dates; Medjol dates are my favourite. I use them as a sweetener in my raw desserts, such as cakes, creams, sauces, cookies and pies. Keep dates in the refrigerator, as they can ferment at room temperature.
AVOCADO – a sensual fruit
Avocado is a sensual fruit, and a powerful stimulant and aphrodisiac. It is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamin E and B complex. Avocado is a traditional remedy for erectile dysfunction. It is also a good source of beta carotene, potassium and folate, nutrients good for circulation and the heart. Avocado contains monounsaturated fat that helps maintain levels of good cholesterol.
