Avocado Chocolate Mousse
This avocado chocolate mousse is rich, creamy, and made with just five simple ingredients. There's no cooking required, and you would never guess it's made with avocado. It's an easy, naturally dairy-free dessert that's perfect for everything from weeknight treats to dinner parties.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Scoop the flesh from the avocados into a blender or food processor.
- Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Give it a taste and add a little more maple syrup if you'd like it sweeter, then blend again.
- Spoon the mousse into serving bowls or glasses.
- You can serve it straight away, but I like to chill it for 20-30 minutes first. It thickens up slightly and becomes even creamier.
