Mocha Coconut Mousse (GF) - Sweet Potato Based

This was SOOOOO  good. It is GREAT to satisfy a sweet tooth !!!   Eat it as a snack or for dessert.  The sweet potato REALLY makes this nice and creamy and smooth !!! 

This is a GREAT way to eat more chia seeds, which are high in fiber, Omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, manganese, phosphorus, and protein.  And get even more fiber from the sweet potato !!!

Comments from taste testers: This is a keeper.  Not a SUPER STRONG coffee flavor.  This is SOOOO good !!!

Place all ingredients (EXCEPT coconut and chia seeds) in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
