Today’s Unique Recipe: Chocolate Avocado Mousse

As we settle into the cozy winter months, I find myself craving rich desserts that bring comfort and warmth. Today, I’m excited to share with you a unique twist on a classic treat — Chocolate Avocado Mousse. This indulgent dessert is not only creamy and decadent but also surprisingly healthy with the addition of nutrient-packed avocados.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2 ripe avocados (about 400g)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (25g)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (80ml)
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (120ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Fresh berries for garnish

To prepare this luscious Chocolate Avocado Mousse, start by scooping out the flesh of two ripe avocados and placing it in a blender. Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well combined.

Once the mousse is velvety and silky, spoon it into individual serving dishes or glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the mousse to set.

Before serving, garnish each portion with fresh berries for a pop of color and a burst of freshness. The combination of rich chocolate and creamy avocado, with a hint of sweetness from the maple syrup, creates a delectable dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth without any guilt.

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • blender
  • spatula
  • mixing bowls
  • measuring cups
  • whisk

The approximate total weight of the cooked Chocolate Avocado Mousse is 600g, with 4 servings at 150g each. One serving of this decadent dessert is approximately 250 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to chill your coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight before using it. This will help the mousse achieve a thicker consistency and enhance its creamy texture.

I hope you give this Chocolate Avocado Mousse a try and enjoy its unique combination of flavors. Feel free to get creative with your toppings or add a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick. Make it your own and savor every spoonful of this guilt-free indulgence.
