Chocolate Avocado Mousse Delight (Printable)

Velvety dairy-free chocolate dessert using ripe avocados and natural sweeteners for a healthy twist.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

02 - 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

03 - 1/4 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy)

04 - 1/4 cup maple syrup (use agave or honey if not vegan)

05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

06 - Pinch of salt

07 - Fresh berries

08 - Shaved dark chocolate

09 - Coconut whipped cream

10 - Mint leaves

01 - Place the avocados, cocoa powder, plant-based milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a food processor or high-speed blender.

02 - Process the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

03 - Taste the mousse and add additional maple syrup if a sweeter flavor is preferred.

04 - Spoon the mousse evenly into serving glasses or bowls.

05 - Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.

06 - Top with fresh berries, shaved dark chocolate, coconut whipped cream, or mint leaves before serving.

01 -

It tastes sinfully indulgent but you're actually eating whole foods and healthy fats.
Ready in under 10 minutes with no baking, no fancy equipment, no dairy required.
Works perfectly for last-minute dinner guests, meal prep, or when you need chocolate therapy at midnight.

02 -

Don't use rock-hard avocados thinking they'll soften in the fridge; they won't, and you'll end up with gritty mousse instead of silky dreams.
The texture depends on how long you chill it—30 minutes for spoonable softness, 2-3 hours if you want it thick enough to hold its shape.

03 -

Freeze ripe avocados whole when they're perfect and thaw them before using—this gives you a two-week window instead of scrambling when they're about to go bad.
A food processor creates slightly thicker, more mousse-like texture; a blender makes it smoother and more pourable, so choose your tool based on how you want it to feel.
