Collagen Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate mousse can be high in saturated fat and calories. Our version beefs up the protein with collagen peptides for a more balanced dessert. We also replaced some of the sugar with dates and the unhealthy fat for healthy monounsaturated fat from avocados. 

Recipe:
(Makes 4 servings)

4 medjool dates, pitted
¼ cup dark chocolate chips, melted
¼ cup unsweetened cacao powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 medium avocados, pitted and peeled 
¼ cup hot water
Pinch sea salt
2 scoops INVIGOR8 Unflavored Collagen Peptides

1. Cover pitted dates with hot water to soften. Let soak about 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, microwave chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals until completely melted.
3. Place dates, the water they soaked in, melted chocolate and the remaining ingredients in a food processor fitted with blade attachment or high-speed blender and process until mixture is fluffy and smooth. Pause as needed to scrape the sides of the container with a spatula. 
4. Serve right away or store chocolate mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for one to two days.
