A rich, velvety dairy-free chocolate mousse made with ripe avocados and coconut cream, perfect for beginners and anyone seeking a light yet indulgent dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut cream
  • ½ cup (50 grams) unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, shaved dairy-free chocolate, chopped nuts, or coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Cut 2 ripe medium avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender.
  2. Add 1 cup (240 ml) of full-fat coconut cream to the blender.
  3. Add ½ cup (50 grams) of unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
  4. Pour in ¼ cup (60 ml) of maple syrup.
  5. Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt.
  6. Blend on high for 2-3 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until smooth and fluffy with no lumps.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired, then blend again briefly.
  8. Spoon the mousse into 4-6 small serving cups or ramekins and smooth the tops.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and set the mousse.
  10. Before serving, garnish with optional toppings such as fresh berries, shaved dairy-free chocolate, or toasted coconut flakes.

Notes

Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture. Chill coconut cream overnight to separate the thick cream. Blend thoroughly and scrape sides often for smooth mousse. Adjust sweetness to taste. Chill mousse for at least 1 hour before serving. If mousse is not firm enough, chill longer or freeze for 15 minutes but avoid freezing solid.
