Dairy-free chocolate avocado mousse FAQ:
Chill the mousse for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator to allow it to set properly. You can chill it longer for a firmer texture.
Choose dairy-free dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for the best flavor and quality. Always check the label to ensure it's dairy-free.
Avocados provide a unique creamy texture that is difficult to replicate, but you can experiment with silken tofu for a different flavor and texture, keeping in mind that it may change the final taste.
Taste the mousse after blending and add a sweetener of your choice, such as maple syrup or agave nectar, blending again until combined. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, give it a gentle stir as it may thicken slightly.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados to achieve a smoother and creamier mousse.

- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding a touch of maple syrup or honey if required.
- Chill the mousse for at least an hour before serving to enhance its texture and flavor.
- Top with more nuts, coconut flakes, or fresh berries for added crunch and flavor.
