Dark Chocolate Avocado Mousse
Reader ratingsA rich, silky chocolate mousse made from avocado and real cacao — no one will guess the secret ingredient.
Why it’s good for you
Avocado provides the creamy fat while real cacao brings polyphenols and magnesium — dessert with actual nutrition.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Add the avocados, cacao, maple syrup, coconut milk, vanilla, and salt to a food processor.
- Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides a few times — you want no avocado flecks.
- Taste and add a little more maple syrup if you like it sweeter.
- Spoon into small cups and chill at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Top with berries or a few dark chocolate shavings.
Tips
- Very ripe avocados blend the smoothest and have the mildest flavor.
- A splash more coconut milk loosens it if your food processor struggles.
