This is one of my favourite desserts to bring to a potluck, especially if you're running late from work. It is SO easy to make, is packed with superfoods, doesn't compromise on taste and you can serve it to anyone, even those who would turn their nose up at something vegan.

Nb. The banana to avo ratio is flexible. Play around with whatever you have available or whatever tastes good to you! You can also add more cacao if not rich enough, or a little coconut milk if too rich.
Add a splash of filtered water or coconut water to make a lighter mousse.
