Everybody needs a little sweetness in their life, especially this time of year. I absolutely love my friend Melissa Wood's Cinnamon Hazelnut Avocado Mousse because it looks and tastes super decadent, but is actually really healthy. Not only is this delicious mousse vegan, it is also packed with superfoods and my absolute favorite food - avocados!
