Description

This Avocado Chocolate Mousse is a rich, creamy, and healthy dessert made from ripe avocados and cocoa powder, naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Perfect for those looking for a dairy-free, vegan-friendly treat, it’s simple to prepare and requires no cooking. The mousse has a smooth texture with a deep chocolate flavor, balanced by a subtle hint of vanilla and a pinch of salt. Garnish with fresh berries or whipped coconut cream for an elegant finish.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh berries
  • Whipped coconut cream
  • Sprinkle of cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Blend the ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the peeled and pitted avocados, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Adjust flavor and consistency: Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness or cocoa level as desired. For a thinner consistency, add almond milk one teaspoon at a time and blend again until you reach your preferred texture.
  3. Chill the mousse: Transfer the mousse into serving bowls or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to set and the flavors to meld together for a richer taste.
  4. Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish the mousse with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped coconut cream, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder to enhance both the appearance and flavor of the dessert.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup depending on preference.
  • For a sweeter mousse, increase the maple syrup gradually.
  • The mousse keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • If you prefer a richer chocolate taste, increase the cocoa powder slightly.
  • Ensure to blend well to avoid any avocado chunks in the mousse.
