Avocado Chocolate Mousse
This healthy Vegan Avocado Chocolate Mousse will satisfy any chocolate craving. The rich chocolaty flavor and creamy texture will disguise this treat’s secret ingredient – avocado. This easy to make avocado pudding is vegan and gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados coarsely mashed
- 8 medjool dates pits removed, soaked 30 minutes and drained
- ¾ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup agave nectar or maple syrup
- ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a food processor fitted with an s-blade. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more non-dairy milk, a tablespoon at a time. Taste the mixture for sweetness. If it’s too bitter, add a little more agave or maple syrup, a tablespoon at a time. Keep in mind that the mousse will get sweeter as it chills.
- Place in an air-tight container and chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Avocado Chocolate Mousse can be frozen and served like ice cream, too.
