Sinfully Rich Chocolate Avocado Mousse: A Healthy Decadent Dessert

Indulgent Chocolate Avocado Mousse

As the weather starts to cool down and the leaves begin to change color, I find myself craving comforting and decadent desserts. Today, I’m excited to share with you my recipe for a rich and creamy Chocolate Avocado Mousse that’s not only delicious but also surprisingly healthy. This velvety mousse is the perfect treat for a cozy night in or a special occasion.

For this indulgent dessert, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 ripe avocados (about 400g)
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder (50g)
• 1/2 cup maple syrup (120ml)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup coconut milk (60ml)
• 3.5 oz dark chocolate, melted (100g)

Before you start, make sure you have the following kitchen tools ready:

• food processor
• rubber spatula
• mixing bowl
• measuring cups
• measuring spoons

To begin, scoop the flesh of the ripe avocados into a food processor. Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and coconut milk. Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula.

Next, pour in the melted dark chocolate and blend again until everything is well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup.

Transfer the chocolate avocado mousse to a mixing bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serve the mousse in individual dessert cups and garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or shaved chocolate.

This recipe yields approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 200g. One serving of this indulgent Chocolate Avocado Mousse is approximately 300 calories.

For an extra special touch, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the mousse mixture before refrigerating. The warm spice adds a cozy autumn flavor that pairs perfectly with the rich chocolate and creamy avocado.

I hope you enjoy making and indulging in this unique and delicious dessert. Feel free to get creative with your toppings and flavor additions to make this recipe your own!
