Before you scroll past — avocado mousse is genuinely delicious. The avocado creates an impossibly creamy texture while being completely undetectable in flavor. This is the healthy dessert that actually satisfies.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey if not vegan)
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh berries and coconut flakes for topping
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a food processor until completely smooth — about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides.
- Taste and adjust sweetness. Add more maple syrup if you like it sweeter.
- Divide into 4 small cups or ramekins.
- Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Top with berries, coconut flakes, or a few chocolate chips.
Tips
- Use ripe avocados: They should be soft but not brown. Overripe = bitter.
- The texture test: If it’s not silky smooth, blend longer. Every lump is a giveaway.
- Keeps 2 days: Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning.
- Kid-friendly: Most kids have no idea there’s avocado in this. Stealth health win.
