Today’s Special: Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse

As the weather starts to cool down and the cravings for cozy desserts kick in, I am excited to share with you a unique and delicious recipe for Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse. This dish is perfect for those looking to spice up their dessert game with a surprising twist of avocado blended with rich dark chocolate.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 ripe avocados (peeled and pitted)
  • 150g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • chili flakes (for garnish)

To create this indulgent dessert, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • food processor
  • saucepan
  • spatula

Begin by melting the dark chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. In the food processor, combine the ripe avocados, melted chocolate, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

Transfer the mousse to individual serving dishes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Before serving, sprinkle chili flakes on top for an extra kick of heat and a pop of color.

This Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse weighs approximately 500g when cooked and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 125g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a touch of sea salt on top of the mousse before serving. The salt enhances the richness of the dark chocolate and balances out the sweetness for a well-rounded flavor profile.

I encourage you to give this Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse a try and get ready to surprise your taste buds with this unique and decadent dessert. Feel free to experiment with different levels of spiciness or toppings to make it your own. Enjoy!
