Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Creamy, decadent mousse made with ripe avocados and rich cocoa—dairy-free, butter-free, and perfect for a healthy dessert.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
• 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup (80ml) maple syrup or honey (use maple syrup for vegan)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 2–4 tablespoons non-dairy milk (optional, for thinner consistency)

Instructions

1. Prepare Avocados:
   Scoop flesh from avocados into a blender or food processor.

2. Add Flavourings:
   Add cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

3. Blend Until Smooth:
   Process on high speed until mixture is creamy. If too thick, add non-dairy milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.

4. Chill:
   Transfer mousse to serving bowls or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

5. Serve:
   Garnish with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a dollop of coconut cream before serving.

Tips

• For a deeper chocolate flavor, whisk in a pinch of espresso powder.
• Swap maple syrup for agave or date syrup for different sweetness profiles.
• Mousse keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
