Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados (soft but not mushy)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (almond, coconut, or dairy) – optional, to adjust consistency

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Choose perfectly ripe avocados that are soft to the touch but not mushy. Cut them in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the creamy flesh into a food processor or blender.
  2. Add the Cocoa Powder: Measure out unsweetened cocoa powder and add it directly to the avocado. This brings the rich chocolate taste that is key to this mousse’s flavor.
  3. Sweeten the Mousse: Pour in your natural sweetener, such as maple syrup or honey, to taste. Start with a small amount—you can always add more for your desired sweetness level.
  4. Flavor with Vanilla and Salt: Add a splash of pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the depth and balance of flavors in your Chocolate Avocado Mousse.
  5. Blend Until Smooth: Pulse the ingredients until silky and creamy. If the mousse feels too thick, add a little milk, one tablespoon at a time, blending until the perfect smooth consistency is achieved.
  6. Chill Before Serving: Transfer the mousse to bowls or containers and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and texture to firm up beautifully.

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados for the creamiest texture without bitterness.
  • Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer flavor.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness gradually for perfect balance.
  • Chill the mousse to enhance texture and flavor depth.
  • Blend thoroughly to avoid any lumps from avocado.
