Deliciously Healthy Chocolate Avocado Mousse

Ingredients

Scale

    • 2 ripe avocados – The avocados should be soft to the touch for the creamiest texture.

    • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder – This adds rich chocolate flavor without any added sugar.

    • 1/4 cup maple syrup – I use pure maple syrup for natural sweetness. You can adjust this to taste.

    • 1/4 cup almond milk – This helps to blend the ingredients smoothly; feel free to use any plant-based milk I prefer.

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – A splash of vanilla enhances the overall flavor profile.

    • A pinch of sea salt – This boosts the chocolate flavor and balances the sweetness.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados

Start by slicing the 2 ripe avocados in half. Carefully remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor. The creaminess of the avocados will provide a rich base for the mousse.

  1. Add Cocoa Powder

Next, add 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder into the blender. This will infuse the mousse with a deep chocolate flavor that balances perfectly with the creamy texture of the avocados.

  1. Pour in Maple Syrup

Drizzle in 1/4 cup of maple syrup. The natural sweetness from the syrup will elevate the flavors and make the mousse deliciously indulgent without refined sugars.

  1. Add Almond Milk

Pour in 1/4 cup of almond milk to aid in blending. This will help achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. You can adjust the amount slightly if you prefer a lighter or thicker mousse.

  1. Mix in Vanilla Extract and Salt

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to the mixture. The vanilla enhances the chocolate flavor and the salt balances the sweetness, creating a well-rounded taste.

  1. Blend Until Smooth

Secure the lid on your blender or food processor. Blend the mixture on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes or until completely smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides for even blending.

  1. Taste and Adjust

After blending, taste the mousse. If you desire more sweetness, you can add a touch more maple syrup or adjust to your preference for flavors.

  1. Chill the Mousse

Spoon the mousse into individual serving bowls or a large dish. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set and enhance the flavors.

  1. Serve and Enjoy
