Ingredients
Avocado Chocolate Mousse Ingredients
- 2 ripe medium avocados
- ⅓ cup cacao or cocoa powder
- ¼ cup canned coconut milk
- ¼ cup maple syrup, or more to taste
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Avocados: Peel the avocados and discard the stones. Scoop the green flesh into a food processor.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add cacao powder, canned coconut milk, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt to the food processor with the avocado.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients together until you achieve a creamy, smooth consistency free of lumps.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the mousse and adjust the cacao for a deeper chocolate flavor or add more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. Blend again to combine.
- Serve or Chill: Enjoy the mousse immediately for a pudding-like texture, or transfer it to the refrigerator for about an hour to let it firm up to a thicker mousse texture.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity based on desired sweetness.
- For a richer taste, use high-quality cacao powder.
- Chilling the mousse enhances the texture, making it more mousse-like.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
