Indulgent Chocolate Avocado Mousse: A Guilt-Free Delight

Decadent Chocolate Avocado Mousse

Today, I am excited to share a unique dessert recipe that is perfect for any chocolate lover looking for a healthier alternative. This decadent chocolate avocado mousse is creamy, rich, and indulgent, yet surprisingly light and guilt-free. The combination of avocado and dark chocolate creates a luxurious texture that will have you coming back for more.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado (about 200g)
• 100g dark chocolate, chopped
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Fresh berries for topping

Kitchen Tools:

• food processor
• saucepan
• spatula

To begin, scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocado and place it in a food processor. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate with the coconut milk, stirring until smooth. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the avocado in the food processor, along with cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

Transfer the mousse into individual serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the mousse to firm up. Before serving, top with fresh berries for a burst of color and freshness.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 350g, with 4 servings at about 87.5g per serving. Each serving is approximately 200 calories.

One tip to enhance the flavor of this chocolate avocado mousse is to sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top just before serving. The salt will accentuate the richness of the chocolate and add a subtle contrast of flavor.

I encourage you to try out this unique dessert recipe and feel free to customize it to your liking. Whether you enjoy it as a mid-week treat or serve it at your next dinner party, this chocolate avocado mousse is sure to impress!
