Avocado Chocolate Mousse Recipe
Avocado Chocolate Mousse is rich and creamy, and there is no avocado taste. Not only does this taste like chocolate mousse it might even taste better. You can add more chocolate bar to it if you want it richer and you can add more sweetener (maple syrup, honey, sugar, agave, etc.) if you want it sweeter. Its great as is or with your favorite fruit dipped in.

Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 3 pitted dates
- 1 ounce semi-sweet chocolate
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup nondairy milk coconut, almond, etc
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup honey or agave (optional for sweetness)
Instructions
- Peel the 3 avocado’s and remove the pits. Place in a food processor. Remove the pits from the dates and place in the food processor. Pulse to break them apart and start to blend.
- Place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat at 50% power in 30 second increments until melted and smooth.
- Add chocolate and all other ingredients into the food processor and blend for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and repeat 2 more times for about 3 minutes total, or until it's silky and smooth.
- Serve as is or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- I suggest making the recipe without the maple syrup and then adding it to taste after it's blended. You can also substitute your favorite sugar-free sweetener.
- Avocados: Your avocados should be ripe but not over-ripe. The easiest way to know if they are ready is to press them lightly. If there is some give, they are ripe. They shouldn’t be mushy or hard.
- Chocolate: I use semi-sweet, but you can use your favorite like milk chocolate or dark chocolate.
- Dates: If your dates are very firm, I recommend soaking them beforehand to soften them up. They will breakdown easier when you blend them.
- A pinch of sea salt will bring out even more chocolate flavor.
- If your mousse is too thick, add a small amount of water to thin it.
- Store this in the fridge in an airtight container.
