Decadent Twist: Avocado Chocolate Mousse Recipe

Healthier Dessert Recipe: Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Sometimes, you just need a decadent dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth. Today, I’m sharing my recipe for a healthier twist on a classic chocolate mousse using an unexpected ingredient – avocado. This creamy and indulgent treat is perfect for a cozy night in or a special celebration.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 50g cocoa powder
• 50ml maple syrup
• 5ml vanilla extract
• 100ml coconut milk
• a pinch of sea salt

Kitchen Tools:

• food processor
• spatula
• mixing bowl

To start, scoop out the flesh of a ripe avocado into a food processor. Add in the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, coconut milk, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend everything until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed with a spatula to ensure everything is well combined.

Transfer the mousse into a mixing bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Once chilled, give it a final stir to ensure a smooth consistency.

The resulting avocado chocolate mousse has a rich and velvety texture, with a perfect balance of sweetness and cocoa flavor. The avocado adds a creamy depth that pairs beautifully with the chocolate.

This recipe makes approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 150g. One serving of this avocado chocolate mousse has an approximate calorie count of 200.

A clever tip to make this dessert even more indulgent is to top it with a dollop of coconut whipped cream and a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate before serving. This adds a touch of elegance and enhances the overall flavor profile of the mousse.

I hope you give this avocado chocolate mousse recipe a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite toppings or mix-ins to make it your own. Happy cooking!
