Ingredients
2 large Ripe Avocados
1/2 cup Halal Cocoa Powder
1/2 cup Halal Maple Syrup
1/3 cup Plant-Based Milk
2 tsp Alcohol-Free Vanilla
1/8 tsp Sea Salt
Instructions
- First, slice your ripe avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the green flesh into a high-speed blender or food processor
- Next, add the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, and alcohol-free vanilla extract. These ingredients form the heart of your Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse
- Pour in the plant-based milk and add the small pinch of sea salt. The salt is crucial as it cuts through the richness of the Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse
- Secure the lid tightly and blend on high speed. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula a few times
- Continue blending until the mixture looks completely smooth and glossy. You should see no green streaks remaining in your Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse
- Taste the Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Add a bit more syrup if you prefer a sweeter treat
- Transfer the Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse into small glass bowls or ramekins
- Place the bowls in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up beautifully
Notes
Use ripe avocados that feel soft to a gentle squeeze for the best creamy texture; underripe avocados will result in a chunky, grassy mousse.
To speed up avocado ripening, place them in a paper bag with a banana for a day.
Sift cocoa powder before adding it to the blender to prevent clumps.
For a gourmet presentation, use a piping bag to swirl the mousse into serving dishes.
The flavor of the mousse improves after a few hours in the fridge, so consider making it in the morning for dinner.
Ensure plant milk is at room temperature to help avocados blend seamlessly.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Do not reheat. It can be frozen in popsicle molds for a 'fudgsicle' treat.
Serve with fresh berries (raspberries, strawberries), toasted nuts (hazelnuts, almonds), halal-certified coconut whipped cream, shredded coconut, dairy-free chocolate shavings, or halal graham crackers. Pairs well with mint tea or halal coffee.
