, a healthier dessert with the perfect balance of smoothness and indulgence!Ingredients
2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup or honey
1/4 cup (60 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup (60 ml) almond milk or any milk of choice
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup (40 g) dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (optional for extra richness)
Instructions
Prepare the Avocados:
In a food processor or blender, add the ripe avocados, maple syrup (or honey), cocoa powder, vanilla extract, almond milk, and a pinch of salt.
Blend Until Smooth:
Process everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides to ensure it’s well blended.
Melt the Chocolate (Optional):
If you’re adding dark chocolate, melt it in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Add the melted chocolate to the mousse mixture and blend again.
Chill:
Transfer the mousse to serving dishes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up.
Serve:
Garnish with chocolate shavings, berries, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
This mousse is a velvety, decadent treat that’s naturally creamy thanks to avocado. Enjoy! Let me know if you’d like any variations or extra add-ins!
