If you’re looking for a rich and creamy dessert that’s also healthy and easy to make, you’ll love this avocado chocolate mousse recipe. It’s made with just six ingredients and takes only 10 minutes to prepare. Plus, it’s vegan, gluten-free, and low-carb!
I was skeptical at first when I saw that this recipe uses avocado as the main ingredient. I mean, how can avocado taste good with chocolate? But trust me, you can’t taste the avocado at all. It just adds a wonderful texture and creaminess to the mousse, along with some healthy fats and fiber.
The other ingredients are simple and wholesome: unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut cream, dark chocolate, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. You just need to melt the chocolate, blend the avocado, and mix everything together in a food processor or blender. Then chill the mousse for 30 minutes or more and enjoy!

Melt the chocolateTo make this delicious dessert, you will need to melt the chocolate first. You can do this in the microwave or on the stovetop. If using the microwave, place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 15 seconds at a time, stirring well after each interval, until smooth and melted. If using the stovetop, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir occasionally until melted. Set aside to cool slightly. |

Blend the avocadoNext, you will need to blend the avocado until smooth and creamy. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh and place it in a food processor or a high-speed blender. Blend until there are no lumps or chunks of avocado left. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender or processor a few times to ensure even blending. |
