Unconventional Dessert: Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse

I’m excited to share a unique dessert recipe that will surprise your taste buds: Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse. This dish is perfect for when you’re craving something decadent yet want to sneak in some healthy fats from avocado. The combination of spicy chili and rich chocolate creates a flavor profile that’s both unexpected and delightful.

I recommend trying this recipe on a cozy winter evening when you want to indulge in something rich and satisfying. It’s the perfect treat to enjoy by the fireplace or with a cup of hot tea.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado (peeled and pitted)
• 100g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 120ml coconut milk
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Kitchen Tools:

• food processor
• saucepan
• spatula
• ramekins

Start by melting the dark chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. In a food processor, combine the ripe avocado, melted chocolate, coconut milk, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

Divide the mousse into ramekins and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set. This dessert is best served cold, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly. The mousse will have a rich, velvety texture with a hint of heat from the cayenne pepper.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 300g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 75g, with an estimated calorie count of 180 per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each mousse before serving. The salt will enhance the flavors and add a nice contrast to the sweetness of the chocolate.

I encourage you to give this Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse a try and customize it to your liking. Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness or sweetness to suit your palate. Enjoy this unconventional dessert and savor every spoonful!
