Ingredients

2 ripe bananas, peeled and broken into pieces
2 ripe avocados, peeled and de-stoned
125 g Medjool dates, pitted
175 g unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp. ground ginger
2 tsp. very finely grated fresh ginger

Directions

Put all the ingredients into a food processor and blitz together to give a thick and smooth mousse.
Divide the mixture evenly into six small ramekins or bowls to serve for a filling and luxurious mini treat or dessert.
They can be eaten straight away or, for a slightly firmer set, refrigerate for about 1 hour. They are best eaten within 24 hours of making as the bananas start to turn after that time.
