Indulge in a rich and creamy dessert that's both delicious and guilt-free with this Dairy-free Avocado Chocolate Mousse! This recipe combines the smooth texture of ripe avocados with the deep, satisfying flavor of cocoa powder. It's naturally sweetened with maple syrup, making it a healthier alternative to traditional chocolate mousse. Plus, it's dairy-free and suitable for those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Place the avocado flesh into a food processor or blender.
- Add 1/3 cup (50g) of dry cocoa powder to the food processor.
- Pour in 2 tsp (8g) of vanilla extract to add a rich flavor to the mousse.
- Add 2 tbsp (30g) of maple syrup for natural sweetness.
- Add 1/3 cup (72g) of coconut milk. This will help achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
- Blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything is well combined.
- Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness or cocoa powder if necessary. If you prefer a sweeter mousse, you can add a bit more maple syrup.
- Transfer the blended mousse into serving dishes or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let it firm up and enhance the flavors.
- Serve chilled. You can optionally garnish with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or a mint leaf for an extra touch.
Tips:
- Make sure the avocados are ripe for a smoother texture.
- Blend all ingredients thoroughly to avoid any lumps and achieve a creamy consistency.
- You can adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less maple syrup.
- Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving for the best texture.
- Top with fresh berries, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, or a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream for extra flair.
