A rich, creamy, and healthy chocolate mousse made with ripe avocados and cocoa, perfect for a quick indulgence or a special treat.

Ingredients

Avocados

  • 2 large ripe avocados (about 400-450g total, pre-peeled and pitted)
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (high-quality for richer flavor)
  • 0.5 cup maple syrup (adjust sweetness as desired)
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, or coconut)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure vanilla)
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt (small pinch)
  • 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted, optional for richer texture)

Instructions 

  • Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a blender.
  • Add cocoa powder, maple syrup, plant-based milk, vanilla, salt, and melted coconut oil (if using) to the blender.
  • Blend until smooth, scraping down sides as needed, for 2-3 minutes until creamy and glossy.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness or consistency by adding more syrup or milk, then blend again.
  • Transfer to serving dishes, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, preferably 3-4 hours or overnight.
  • Serve chilled, garnished as desired.

Notes

For an extra smooth mousse, melt and add coconut oil during blending.
