Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Avocados
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Step 2: Add the Ingredients
- Add cocoa powder, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
- Blend everything until it’s thick and creamy. Stop once or twice to scrape down the sides so everything mixes evenly.
Step 4: Adjust the Texture
- If the mousse feels too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of almond milk and blend again until smooth and silky.
Step 5: Taste and Adjust
- Taste it. Add more cocoa for stronger chocolate flavor or more sweetener if you like it sweeter.
Step 6: Chill It
- Spoon the mousse into bowls or small cups and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the texture firm up.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
- Top with coconut whipped cream, berries, or dark chocolate shavings before serving. Serve cold and enjoy the creamy, rich flavor.
Notes
- Use fully ripe avocados for the best texture. Underripe ones will make the mousse lumpy.
- This mousse keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days. Cover tightly to prevent browning.
- You can use this as a frosting on cakes or cupcakes — just chill it longer for a thicker consistency.
- Add a tiny shot of espresso for a deeper chocolate flavor (optional but amazing).
