Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Avocado Chocolate Mousse is a rich, creamy no-bake dessert made with ripe avocado, cocoa, vanilla, and your preferred sweetener. The avocado creates a smooth, pudding-like texture while cocoa and optional melted chocolate provide deep chocolate flavor. It comes together in minutes and can be served immediately or chilled for a firmer consistency.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe avocados about 240 g flesh
  • 1/4 cup regular cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder or melted chocolate chips
  • 3-4 tablespoons milk of choice use more as needed for consistency
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or sweetener of choice, to taste

Method
 

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
  2. Add the regular cocoa powder and the Dutch-process cocoa powder or slightly cooled melted chocolate.
  3. Pour in 3 tablespoons of milk.
  4. Add the vanilla extract, salt, and maple syrup or preferred sweetener.
  5. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  6. If the mousse is too thick, add the remaining tablespoon of milk or a little more, 1 teaspoon at a time.
  7. Taste and adjust the sweetness or chocolate flavor as desired.
  8. Blend again until silky smooth.
  9. Serve immediately for a softer texture, or refrigerate for about 30 minutes for a firmer mousse.
  10. Spoon into small bowls, glasses, or jars and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a richer mousse, use melted dark chocolate in place of the Dutch-process cocoa. If using a dry sweetener, add a little extra milk as needed for smooth blending.
