Description
Vegan dark chocolate avocado mousse is a plant-based dessert made from ripe avocados, cocoa powder, dark chocolate, and a few other simple ingredients. This mousse has a velvety smooth texture and a rich chocolate flavor with a hint of natural sweetness. Unlike traditional mousse, which is often made with eggs, dairy, and heavy cream, this version uses avocados to create that creamy, luxurious texture without any animal products.
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados (or 4 small)
- ¼ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (adjust for desired thickness)
- 2 tbsp raw organic cocoa powder
- ½ bar high-quality dark chocolate, melted
- 2–3 pitted dates (for natural sweetness)
- 1 tbsp brewed coffee or espresso (optional, enhances chocolate flavor)
- ½ tsp organic vanilla extract
Optional Garnishes:
- Cacao nibs
- Shredded coconut
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate Use a stovetop or microwave-safe bowl to gently melt the dark chocolate.
- Blend the Base In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine melted chocolate, avocado, almond milk, cocoa powder, dates, coffee, and vanilla extract.
- Mix Until Smooth Blend until the mixture is creamy and mousse-like. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
- Serve & Garnish Spoon into serving glasses or bowls. Top with your favorite garnishes like berries, coconut, or cacao nibs.
- Chill (Optional) For a firmer texture, refrigerate for 30–60 minutes before serving.
Notes
This creamy mousse is not only indulgent but also packed with healthy fats from avocado and antioxidants from dark chocolate. It’s the perfect guilt-free dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth while staying plant-based. Top with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cacao nibs, or a dollop of coconut whipped cream for an extra treat!
