Blended together with cocoa powder, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt, this mousse offers a naturally sweet, dairy-free treat that is perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings guilt-free. Ready in just over an hour, including chilling time, it’s a simple yet elegant dessert ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 very ripe avocados
  • ½ cup bittersweet chocolate bar, melted
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

For Serving

  • Whipped cream (preferably coconut whipped cream)
  • Raspberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Melt the bittersweet chocolate bar gently until smooth and let it cool slightly. Make sure the avocados are very ripe for a creamy texture.
  2. Blend the Mousse: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the ripe avocados, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend everything until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Chill the Mousse: Spoon or pour the mousse evenly into four serving bowls or jars. Place them in the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour. This chilling step helps the mousse set, giving it the ideal light and fluffy texture.
  4. Serve: Once chilled, serve the mousse cold topped with coconut whipped cream and fresh raspberries to add a refreshing contrast and extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use very ripe avocados for the creamiest mousse.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity to taste if you prefer a sweeter dessert.
  • Bittersweet chocolate with at least 60% cacao is best for rich flavor.
  • Almond milk can be substituted with any plant-based milk of choice.
  • For a keto-friendly version, replace maple syrup with a low-carb sweetener like erythritol.
  • Chilling time is important for texture; do not skip.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
