Chocolate Silk Avocado Mousse
Who said dessert can’t be delicious AND nourishing?
Say hello to Chocolate Silk Avocado Mousse – a rich, creamy, chocolatey treat that tastes far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests!
Ingredients:
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3-4 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1 pinch sea salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp melted dairy-free dark chocolate
Preparation Steps:
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the stones, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, almond milk, sea salt, and cinnamon if using.
- Blend until completely smooth, creamy, and silky, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness or cocoa intensity according to your preference.
- For an extra-decadent mousse, blend in the melted dark chocolate.
- Spoon into small serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve chilled with fresh berries, cacao nibs, shaved dark chocolate, coconut flakes, or a few crushed nuts.
Tip: The key to a truly silky texture is using very ripe avocados and blending for long enough. You shouldn’t be able to taste the avocado once the mousse is properly blended.
