Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- ¼ cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons liquid sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or sugar-free alternative like erythritol), adjust to taste
- 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) unsweetened almond milk or any dairy-free milk
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, chopped nuts, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Scoop the flesh from 2 medium ripe avocados into a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Add ¼ cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder and a pinch of sea salt. Blend briefly to combine, about 1 minute.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3 tablespoons liquid sweetener, and 2 tablespoons (30ml) unsweetened almond milk. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until silky smooth. Add an extra tablespoon of almond milk if a looser consistency is desired.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or chocolate intensity by adding more sweetener or cocoa powder, blending again for 30 seconds if needed.
- Transfer mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and meld flavors.
- Serve chilled, garnished with optional fresh berries, nuts, or shredded coconut.
Notes
Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for best texture. Blend in stages to avoid splattering and over-warming the mousse. Chill for at least 30 minutes to thicken and improve flavor. Adjust sweetener gradually to balance taste. Optional toppings add texture and visual appeal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; stir in a teaspoon of almond milk if mousse thickens too much.
