Carob Cream
This tastes and looks like chocolate mousse. You won’t be tempted to eat chocolate with this dessert! It can be eaten alone or used as an icing for a cake or a dip for strawberries, bananas and so on.
INGREDIENTS
1 avocado
½ cup raw carob
¼ cup raw coconut butter
½ cup unheated honey or raw agave or yacon syrup (yacon is very low glycemic)
Blend in food processor with the “S” blade until mixture is creamy and it looks like Hershey’s chocolate or chocolate pudding.
Serves 6-8

2 cups fresh juice from sweet-tasting fruit (e.g., orange juice)
