Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Today, I find myself in warm and sunny Florida. It feels surreal to be sitting outside on the lawn in the middle of February. There are commercials on TV advertising discounted bags of mulch. There are even fruit stands set up along major streets. #OnlyinFlorida

Now that I have all this sudden free time, I can write about a phenomenal dessert my friend introduced me to. This dessert is an amazing vegan dessert. On top of that, there is no gluten in it, which makes it the perfect all-inclusive dessert for all your diet restricted friends. Wait! There's more! The recipe takes between 5-10 minutes to put together--just throw all ingredients in a blender and chill.
