Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (use maple syrup or agave nectar for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • Pinch of cinnamon or chili powder (for a spicy twist)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (for protein boost)
  • 1–2 tablespoons almond or cashew butter (for nutty flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Start with perfectly ripe avocados to ensure smoothness; scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor, scraping out every bit near the skin.
  2. Add Cocoa and Sweeteners: Add unsweetened cocoa powder along with your choice of natural sweetener and vanilla extract. The combination creates the mousse’s distinctive chocolate flavor.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients together on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides for even mixing.
  4. Adjust Flavors: Taste and adjust sweetness or add a pinch of salt if needed, blending again briefly to incorporate.
  5. Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mousse to serving dishes and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld and texture to firm up.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados: The softer the avocado, the smoother your mousse will be—avoid underripe fruit for best texture.
  • Sweeten gradually: Sweeten to taste slowly, because different sweeteners offer varying levels of sweetness.
  • Blend thoroughly: For that perfectly smooth mousse, blend long enough to eliminate any avocado chunks.
  • Chill before serving: Cooling the mousse helps develop richer flavors and firmer consistency.
  • Experiment with toppings: Add fresh berries, nuts, or shaved chocolate for an extra layer of delight.
