Chocolate Avocado Mousse

I might have never tried this recipe. That is until my Mom handed me a very ripe avocado and said "I really don't want this to go to waste". Was that a challenge? Probably not but I took it as one. I thought about guacamole but that didn't hit the spot. Avocado burgers? Not on meatless Monday. :D

Then it came to me. I had seen a segment on (I believe) Rachel Ray on making chocolate mousse from avocado's. I scoured the internet but couldn't find that particular recipe. So I took a little from one recipe and a little more from another and dessert was a go.
