9-6 How did I ever miss this?

Recipe surfing over the weekend  and found this gem. I'm going to credit it to  those inventive little gluten free vegans who still have a sweet tooth. 
Avocado Mousse, yep, that's right.....AVOCADO MOUSSE!!! I'm posting 2 versions.
#1  Chocolate, dairy free, GF    #2 tangy lime version (with dairy)



Chocolate-Avocado Mousse with Fresh Raspberries


·         large ripe avocados
·         1/2 cup organic unsweetened cocoa powder 
·         1/2 cup agave nectar
·         1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
·         1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
·         1/2 pint fresh raspberries, for garnish

Whip it all up in a food processor and let it chill for a few hours.

Tangy lime version (not dairy free)
3 ripe avocados
Juice from 2 medium limes
½ Cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup sugar

Mix the avocado and lime juice till smooth. Beat the whipping cream with sugar until stiff peaks form. Add the cream 
to the avocado and blend well. Chill for a few hours before serving
