Dairy-free avocado chocolate mousse

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:

2 avocados
400g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g
2 tbsp maple syrup
30g
1/3 cup coconut milk
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Avocados:
- 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.
2. Add Cocoa Powder:
- Add 1/3 cup (50g) of dry cocoa powder to the food processor.
3. Incorporate Vanilla Extract:
- Pour in 2 tsp (8g) of vanilla extract to add a rich flavor to the mousse.
4. Sweeten with Maple Syrup:
- Add 2 tbsp (30g) of maple syrup for natural sweetness.
5. Pour in Coconut Milk:
- Add 1/3 cup (72g) of coconut milk. This will help achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
6. Blend Until Smooth:
- 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.
7. Taste and Adjust:
- 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.
8. Chill the Mousse:
- 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.
9. Serve:
- 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.
