Instructions
For the chocolate mousse
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Turn off the heat and melt the chocolate squares in a double boiler using a heat-resistant bowl or mixing bowl.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the avocado flesh, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, agave syrup, vanilla, coconut milk, and salt. Blend well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the cream to set.
Preparing the tiles
Pit the dates. Process them in a food processor with the walnuts, oil, shredded coconut, and salt until the mixture is coarse and smooth.
Spread the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper. Bake in the oven at 180°C for 20 minutes.
Once the baking is done, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave (being careful not to burn it). Using a teaspoon, draw lines of chocolate on the dried fruit tuile. Let everything cool.
Final assembly
Before your meal, divide the mousse among cocktail glasses.
Garnish with a square of dark chocolate and a piece of tuile, and enjoy watching your guests dig in 😃
