Creamy Decadence: Chocolate Avocado Mousse Recipe

Today’s Culinary Innovation: Chocolate Avocado Mousse

As the weather warms up, I find myself craving lighter, fresher desserts. That’s why today, I’m excited to share with you a unique and creamy recipe for Chocolate Avocado Mousse. This decadent treat is not only incredibly delicious but also surprisingly nutritious thanks to the star ingredient — avocado!

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe avocados (about 400g)
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder (60g)
• 1/3 cup maple syrup (80ml)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup coconut milk (120ml)
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Kitchen Tools:

• food processor
• rubber spatula
• mixing bowls

Start by halving the avocados, removing the pits, and scooping out the flesh into a food processor. Add in the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, coconut milk, and sea salt. Blend everything together until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula as needed.

Once the mousse is silky and well combined, transfer it to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and set. This will also help the flavors meld together for a richer taste.

Before serving, you can garnish the mousse with toppings like fresh berries, shaved chocolate, or a sprinkle of sea salt. The smooth texture and rich chocolate flavor of this dessert will surely surprise and delight your taste buds!

The total weight of the cooked Chocolate Avocado Mousse is approximately 650g, making around 4 servings. Each serving weighs about 160g, with an estimated calorie count of 200 per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne pepper to the mousse for a subtle and spicy kick. This unexpected twist will elevate the flavors and leave your guests impressed!

I hope you enjoy making and indulging in this Chocolate Avocado Mousse as much as I do. Feel free to experiment with different toppings and flavor additions to make it your own. Happy cooking!
