We know the beginning of every year starts with eating healthier and going to the gym, but that doesn’t mean we should deny ourselves a cheat snack. And what’s better than Giada De Laurentiis’ fruity, sweet treat?

On Jan 7, De Laurentiis shared a delectable snapshot of her new dessert recipe with the caption, “This mousse has the same great flavor as traditional varieties, just without the dairy. Avocado takes the place of butter, but its the flavor of the chocolate that comes through to make each bite perfectly creamy and delicious 😍.”
