Avocado Chocolate Mousse

I have no idea why I waited so long to make this Chocolate Avocado Mousse!  I mean, I’m beyond excited, so excited,  that I had to write this blog post as soon as I made it  and eat this mousse immediately after!! Seriously , this recipe is going to totally surprise you. It’s incredibly rich, creamy,  so luxuriously smooth and yes, really healthy. Winner!!

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

We are ticking off a lot of boxes in this recipe –

Glutenfree, dairy free, vegan ( I have non vegan options too) and refined sugarfree! All this while being absolutely sinful 🙂

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Avocado is an amazingly high nutrient fruit. High in healthy fats and fiber, it’s a popular food amongst health conscious individuals. Its buttery creamy texture lends itself beautifully  to many dishes. This fruit does not contain any cholesterol, sodium and is low in saturated fats. In fact, its loaded with heart healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. The fat in here also helps in absorbing nutrients/ antioxidants from other plant  foods. They also have the least amount of sugar as compared to other fruits.

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Its is one of the fattiest plant foods..so as much as you love them, portion control is the key. Especially  in recipes like these where you are  combining it with chocolate. Now, in this recipe I used dairyfree vegan dark chocolate from Mason & Co . These are available easily in any organic food store or online. If you couldn’t be bothered with keeping it vegan, use any best quality dark chocolate ( 70% is my recommendation).

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

I made this dessert with coconut milk and plain Greek yogurt ( separately), both worked very well. Also a portion of it was sweetened with honey and the other with stevia powder. Honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference. So there you go, one simple, no-fuss FOUR ingredient Chocolate Avocado Mousse that can be made with whatever you have on hand. Just make sure your avocado is ripe though! 🙂

Eat well, eat real foods, stay happy and healthy!

Ingredients

• 1 Avocado, ripe
• 3/4 cup Dairy free chocolate or Dark chocolate (70%)
• 1/4 cup Coconut milk or plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tsp Honey or any other sweetener Or 1/2 tsp stevia powder

Instructions

1. Melt the chocolate gently over a double boiler or in a microwave. Stir well. Let it cool a bit before adding it to the other ingredients. - This is very important, else your mousse will be grainy.
2. In the meanwhile, combine the avocado, coconut milk/ Greek yogurt, and sweetener of your choice in a blender, until completely smooth. Now slowly add the melted chocolate and run the blender again until everything is combined well. Taste and adjust for sweetener.
3. You can add more liquid as well at this point if the mixture is too thick. The mousse will thicken more in the refrigerator.
