Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4
Serving size: 1/4 cup

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado, cut into chunks
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional in place of vanilla extract)
• 1 can unsweetened coconut milk, chilled

Instructions:

1. In a food processor, combine avocado, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, extra virgin coconut oil and vanilla (or peppermint) extract. Blend until smooth.
2. Scoop out the chilled top portion of the coconut milk (coconut cream) and place into a bowl. Set aside or discard the liquid coconut water at the bottom.
3. With a hand mixer, beat the coconut cream on high until fluffy, about 5-6 minutes. Note: If your coconut cream is not fluffing up, put the mixers and bowl with coconut cream in the freezer for 5 minutes to cool, then remove and continue whipping.
