Avocado Mousse

My new favorite way to eat avocados is this recipe, which is adapted from Giada De Laurentiis’s Chocolate Avocado Mousse recipe.

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips, such as Nestle
1 very ripe (8 ounce) avocado, peeled and pitted
1/8 cup honey
1/8 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt
3 tablespoons milk

Add all ingredients to a mini food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Serve topped with whipped cream if desired.

Slow Cooker Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie Pudding

I made this slow cooker dessert for dinner. I love pumpkin pie and this was an easy to make substitute. It was super good and the best part was the whipped cream got my kids to eat it, letting them get some Vitamin A.


1 can pumpkin
10 oz milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup gluten free all purpose flour
2 eggs
1 tbs butter
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp vanilla

Add all ingredients to the slow cooker and mix well. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours. Serve in a bowl topped with whipped cream.

Easy Pumpkin Pudding

Pumpkin is a great source of Vitamin A. It also contains Vitamin C, Vitamin E and B vitamins along with minerals such as copper, calcium, potassium and phosphorus.
This was super easy to make and only took about 10 minutes.

I made my own version based on the following two recipes:

http://www.peta.org/living/vegetarian-living/pumpkin-pudding.aspx

Here’s the recipe I came up with:

1 can pumpkin purée
1 1/4 cups milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
1/2 Tbsp. honey
1/2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
dash ginger
1 tsp. ground flaxseed, optional

Add all ingredients in order to sauce pan. Mix well and cook on medium low heat for 6 – 8 minutes, until thick.

Pour into dishes and refrigerate for about 1 1/2 hours.

Serve with whipped cream if desired.

Whipped Cream:

1 cup heavy cream
2 tbs sugar (I used 1/2 tbs)
1/2 tsp vanilla

Beat whipping cream, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium until soft peaks form.
