Make Chocolate Mousse Step 1
- In your food processor work bowl: combine the flax egg, avocado, date sugar, coconut sugar, cacao powder, vanilla, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce and melted coconut oil. Process thoroughly to get a smooth texture.
Make Chocolate Mousse Step 2
- Scrape bowl. Reserve 12 long pieces of orange zest and set aside. Add 1/4 cup or remaining orange zest (to taste) to the work bowl. Pulse to process the mouse and orange zest. You want chunks of orange zest in the mouse, but not too small.Adjust the texture of the mousse. If it is too thick, add a teaspoon or two of orange juice. If it is too runny, add a tablespoon of melted coconut oil. It will become more solid as it cools.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour (or overnight) to allow the mousse to set up.
