Method

1. Soak the dates in hot or boiling water for 15mins.

2. Scoop the avocado flesh out of the avocado and into a blender or jug (if using a stick blender).

3. Add the soaked dates, 2-3 tbsp of the water they were soaking in, and all of the remaining ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides a few times to ensure that everything is evenly blended. If needed add a little extra date water and blend again

4. Divide avocado mousse into 2 small jars or bowls.

5. Chill in the fridge for around an hour or until cooled through. Serve with fresh berries.
