Today’s Unique Creation: Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse

I’m excited to share with you today a recipe that combines unexpected flavors for a truly special treat. This Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse is a delightful twist on a classic dessert, perfect for a unique dinner party or a cozy night in. The rich, creamy texture of the avocado pairs perfectly with the decadent chocolate, and a hint of spice adds an extra kick to each bite.

To make this Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 ripe avocados (about 400g)
  • 100g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • Fresh raspberries, for garnish

You will also need the following kitchen tools:

  • food processor
  • saucepan
  • spatula
  • ramekins

To begin, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a food processor and blend until smooth. In a saucepan, melt the dark chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Once melted, pour the chocolate into the food processor with the avocado. Add the maple syrup, cayenne pepper, vanilla extract, sea salt, and chili powder. Blend until well combined.

Next, in a separate saucepan, heat the coconut cream until warm. Slowly pour the warm coconut cream into the avocado mixture while blending, until a smooth and creamy mousse forms.

Divide the mousse into ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. When ready to serve, garnish each ramekin with fresh raspberries for a pop of color and a burst of freshness.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 700g, with 4 servings at around 175g each. Each serving is estimated to be around 300 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a touch of extra chili powder on top of each serving for a beautiful presentation and an added spicy kick.

I encourage you to give this Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse a try and make it your own with different toppings or spices. It’s a truly unique dessert that will surprise and delight your taste buds. Enjoy!
