Chocolate Avocado Mousse Recipe

Posted by Damian Mika on

Summer time calls for lighter, colder desserts. Give this healthy alternative to ice cream a try, and let us know how it goes! 

 Prep Time
5 minutes

Cook Time 
3 minutes

Total Time
8 minutes

Recipe Yield
4 Servings

Ingredients:

  • flesh of 2 ripe avocados (240g)
  • ChocoVivo 75% bar (80g) 
  • 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup milk of choice (60-120g)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • pinch stevia OR 2-6 tbsp sweetener of choice

*Top with your favorite nuts, cacao nibs, or fruit for added texture 

STEP 1

Carefully melt chocolate in a double boiler until smooth. Use less milk or milk substitute for a thicker mousse. Use sweetener of choice to taste. Note that the chocolate will already be sweet.  

STEP 2

Combine ingredients in a blender or food processor until completely smooth.

 

  Variations & Tips

 *Use the Coffee + Vanilla bar or Mayan Tradition bar for taste of a Mocha or a taste of Mexican Chocolate!  

*The higher the cacao % used in the pudding like the 100% cacao, the thicker the pudding so choose a bar that's low on the sugar, but higher in real chocolate.  

*If you want an unsweetened sugar version, try our paleo blends and add maple syrup or even honey. 

*If you want it thicker, use oat mylk.  Filtered water works well too! 

*Make sure to crumble up the bar of chocolate for faster cooking time otherwise we have our cacao powder or chocolate chunks that makes the process easier.
