Chocolate Mousse has never been healthier or faster! When choosing Avocados, use Haas variety- they tend to have a rich, smooth finish. Make sure to avoid any granulated sweeteners for a creamy mouthfeel.
You’ll Need:
4-5 ripe avocados
3 tablespoons honey, maple syrup, or optional liquid sweetener. ( do not use granulated sweeteners)
3/4 cup good quality cocoa powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Small pinch of Himalayan or your favorite salt
4-5 tablespoons cow or nut milk
Fresh berries for garnish
Cocoa for dusting
Here’s How:
Split the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Using a spoon, scoop out the meat and place it in the bowl of your food processor. Add the remaining ingredients, and pulse until smooth—about 1 minute.
Taste and adjust sweetness. Add additional milk to adjust consistency.
Place mixture into serving bowls or glassware, and chill until ready to serve. Top with fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of cocoa.
Makes Approximately 4 servings
Eat it all up!
