Indulgent Chocolate Avocado Mousse: A Guilt-Free Decadent

Dessert: Chocolate Avocado Mousse

Today, I’m excited to share a unique and indulgent dessert recipe that combines two unlikely ingredients — chocolate and avocado. This rich and creamy chocolate avocado mousse is a guilt-free treat that will satisfy your sweet tooth while incorporating some healthy fats. It’s perfect for a cozy night in or a dinner party with friends. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe avocados (about 400g)
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder (40g)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (60ml)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 cup coconut milk (60ml)
• Fresh berries for garnish

Kitchen Tools:

• food processor
• spatula
• mixing bowl
• measuring cups

To begin, scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocados and place them in a food processor. Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, sea salt, and coconut milk to the processor. Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Once the mixture is velvety and free of any avocado chunks, transfer it to a mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

When you’re ready to serve, spoon the chocolate avocado mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls. Top each portion with fresh berries for a pop of color and added freshness. Enjoy this decadent dessert immediately, and revel in the creamy texture and rich chocolate flavor.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 520g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 130g. The calorie count per serving is estimated to be around 200 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of the mousse just before serving. The hint of salt enhances the chocolate flavor and adds a gourmet touch to this simple dessert.

I hope you give this chocolate avocado mousse a try and enjoy the unexpected combination of flavors. Feel free to customize it with your favorite toppings or additional spices to make it your own. Happy cooking!
