Vegan Chocolate Mousse (&lactose and gluten-free)

Chocolate mousse is something I love very much. I would like for everyone to taste this wonderfulness of a food, but some people are vegan and lactose intolerant so there is a problem. The solution is simple. Make it vegan. So the following is my take on chocolate mousse for the milk and animal impaired (I have no idea what I meant there so just ignore it). I also believe it to be gluten-free, I'm not sure so feel free t correct me if I'm wrong.

Yield 2-2 1/2 cups

This mousse can be substituted for regular mousse, just don't bake it as I have no idea what will happen to it.

3 avocados peeled, halved and seeded
1/2 cup maple or agave syrup
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
Pinch of salt
1-2 tblsp water (optional)

Place all ingredients except for water in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Scrape down sides and blend again thoroughly. Add water to thin out the moose to your desired consistency. Enjoy.

Then add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, and once it is completely melted turn off the flames and stir in 2 cups of flour. Place it in a mixer with a paddle attachment and mix in 4 eggs, one at a time. If you don't have a paddle attachment the standard attachment is accepted, but the paddle attachment is preferred. Drop banana size batter into hot oil...
