Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados (peeled and pitted)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey for non-vegan)
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, add the ripe avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the mousse is too thick, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  3. Chill the Mousse: Spoon the mousse into individual serving bowls or cups. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up.
  4. Serve: Before serving, you can top the mousse with fresh berries, whipped coconut cream, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Serve chilled and enjoy your Chocolate Avocado Mousse.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey if not following a vegan diet.
  • Adjust the almond milk quantity to achieve your preferred mousse consistency.
  • Chilling the mousse is essential for a firm and smooth texture.
  • Optional toppings like fresh berries or whipped coconut cream add extra flavor and presentation value.
