Chocolate Avocado Mousse
Sounds strange. Tastes incredible. The avocado gives it a silky, rich texture that's indistinguishable from traditional mousse.
Time: 10 minutes · Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- ●2 ripe avocados
- ●45 g (⅓ cup) raw cacao powder or cocoa powder
- ●80 ml (⅓ cup) maple syrup or honey
- ●60 ml (¼ cup) coconut milk (full fat, from the can)
- ●1 tsp vanilla extract
- ●Pinch of fine sea salt
- ●Fresh berries for topping
Method
- Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender.
- Add the cacao powder, maple syrup, coconut milk, vanilla, and salt.
- Blend for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until completely smooth and creamy. No lumps. No green streaks.
- Taste and adjust — more sweetener if needed, more cacao for intensity, a splash of milk if too thick.
- Divide among serving glasses. Top with fresh berries.
- Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving (the flavors meld and deepen as it chills).
- *Storage:** Refrigerator for 2 days (the surface may darken slightly — stir and it's fine, or press plastic wrap directly onto the surface).
