AVOCADO BASED DESSERTS
Wheat, gluten, corn, soya, nightshade, dairy, egg & nut free
Inspired by Liz Bygrave’s delicious avocado and lime mousse in last month’s Foods Matter, I have been experimenting with some other desserts. The following two are jolly tasty – although I have to admit that they are not quite as mind-bendingly delicious as her original! However, maybe they will inspire you to do some more experimentation of your own – or maybe just to book up for one of her classes!
