💫 I'm going on 3 weeks of this thing called "keto" and I like to say that I'm doing keto-ish as I'm not going to be eating FAT BALLS in this lifetime or next!

I jumped on the scale this morning and so far I'm down a hell of lot more than I ever imagined or tried to lose, (I'm a firm believer in slow and gradual or it's coming back fast and furious!), and as I haven't been this weight since Brett and me started dating 7 years ago, I'm doing the happy dance as I feel so good, but I wouldn't have gotten this far without my "dessert". 😌

🍫 I am a freak when it comes to chocolate, so when I found numerous keto recipes online for any and everything dessert, these were a few that I fell in love with and I even tweaked this one to be my own... this was by far my favourite, and I'm not a cook and I DON'T bake... just check out my "cake challenge" that I do every year in January 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🦄

As promised, here is what I'm snacking on and what's gotten me through the last several weeks... ENJOY!! 😋

✨ Chocolate Avocado Mousse (chill some of these ingredients overnight in fridge)

~ 2 Ripe Avocados ( mine were really ripe and I chilled them overnight in the fridge)

~ 1/2 cup of sweetener (I had stevia on hand and made sure that it was powdered, but you can also use Splenda, or Xylitol as well and blend thoroughly)

~ Organic Unsweetened Canned Coconut Milk (I chilled 1-389ml can overnight and separated the cream from the milk and used the entire contents of the cream, and saved the milk)

~ 3/4 cup of Unsweetened Cacao Powder

~ 1 tsp of Pure Vanilla Extract

~ 2 tsp of Cinnamon

~ 2 tsp of Nutmeg

~ 1/2 tsp of salt

Mix all ingredients together in a blender until silky smooth, remove and chill overnight. 🥶

✨ DO NOT WASH OUT BLENDER - WITH LEFTOVER CHOCOLATE MOUSE IN BLENDER ✨ Pour 1L of Whipping Cream in Blender and blend to desired thickness.

🥄 Spoon into bowl, cover and chill overnight (yes, you will have plenty of whipping cream, but you will thank me for this later) 💋 😌

🤷🏻‍♀️ FOLLOWING DAY...

Spoon mousse into a cup/bowl, top with whipping cream and add a few slightly thawed Raspberries and Blackberries to top it off... and voila, the most amazing #ketofriendly # dessert

~ My 2nd choice for a keto-friendly dessert is a bowl of dark berries topped with the same whipping cream, drizzled with a capful of pure vanilla extract and a few "Lilly's chocolate chips"

~ Lastly, try putting a handful of Lilly's chocolate chips in a small zip lock bag with your choice of Pecans, Brazil nuts, Macadamia nuts, Walnuts, Hazelnuts, Pine nuts, Almonds, or Peanuts.

*** I tend to carry around a snack bag with a few of each just in case*** so far, so good! 💁🏻
