At Oasis Natural Health Centres, we love cooking with essential oils as we get absolute purity of flavor in such a concentrated form! It cuts way down on waste because we only need to use a drop or two of oil, and can have the bottle of essential oil for months!

Ingredients:

4 medium, ripe avocados

6 Medjool dates, chopped finely and soaked for 1hr in ¼ cup boiling water(or 1/3 cup raw coconut nectar)

1/2 cup raw cacao powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 drops of Organic Bare Oils orange essential oils

Fresh fruit and nuts, for garnish

In the bowl of a blender or food processor, blend avocado until smooth. Add all other ingredients, blending until mixture is uniform. Chill for about 2 hours in the fridge or half an hour in the freezer. Garnish with fresh fruit or chopped nuts.

Recipe Notes:

If you want to try this recipe, but don’t have the raw coconut sweetener or cacao powder on hand, agave, honey and unsweetened cocoa powder are fine-tasting substitutes. The mousse will no longer be strictly raw, but will still be delicious! And it retains the spirit of the dish.

If you love chocolate/mint flavor, you can replace the 2 drops of orange essential oil with 2 drops of organic peppermint essential oil!

We organise workshops every Saturday, to learn how to cook with essential oils. Check our events page on Facebook
