Decadent Avocado Chocolate Mousse: A Refreshing Twist on Dessert

Today’s Special: Avocado Chocolate Mousse

As the weather starts to warm up, I find myself craving light and refreshing desserts. That’s why today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Avocado Chocolate Mousse. This unique dessert combines the creaminess of ripe avocados with the richness of dark chocolate for a decadent treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• 3 medium ripe avocados (about 450g)
• 200g dark chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Kitchen Tools:

• food processor
• saucepan
• spatula
• ramekins

To start, melt the dark chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. In a food processor, combine the ripe avocados, melted chocolate, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the processor as needed.

Divide the mousse mixture into ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. The mousse should be firm and set when ready to serve. Garnish with fresh berries or a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor.

This Avocado Chocolate Mousse recipe makes approximately 6 servings. Each serving weighs around 140g and contains approximately 250 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to chill the avocados before blending them with the chocolate. This not only helps the mousse set faster but also gives it a refreshing and cool texture that is perfect for summer.

I hope you give this Avocado Chocolate Mousse a try and enjoy its unique blend of flavors. Feel free to experiment with different toppings or add-ins to make it your own!
