Blender Chocolate Avocado Mousse is a rich, decadent dessert that uses ripe avocado to create a remarkably smooth and creamy texture without any heavy cream or eggs. It tastes intensely chocolatey and indulgent, yet it is dairy-free and packed with good fats, making it a guilt-free treat for two. Serve it chilled in small glasses topped with berries or a dusting of cocoa.

🍽 For Two

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados
4 tbsp cocoa powder
4 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp plant milk
1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

Halve two ripe avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender, discarding any brown or stringy parts so the mousse stays smooth and clean tasting.
Add about 40 grams (one third cup) of unsweetened cocoa powder, 60 millilitres (one quarter cup) of maple syrup or honey, a splash of plant milk, and a pinch of salt to round out the flavor.
Blend on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps of avocado remaining.

Melt about 30 grams (one ounce) of dark chocolate gently in the microwave in short bursts or over a water bath, then pour it into the blender and blend again briefly so it incorporates and enriches the mousse.
Taste and adjust the sweetness, adding a little more syrup if you prefer it sweeter, and blend once more to combine.
Spoon the mousse into two serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so it firms up and the flavors meld, then serve cold topped with fresh berries or a light dusting of cocoa.

💡 Chef's tip

Make sure the avocados are perfectly ripe and soft, and use a little warm melted dark chocolate folded in at the end to mask any vegetal note and give the mousse a deeper, more authentic chocolate flavor.

Ripe avocado blends into a texture indistinguishable from classic mousse, and the cocoa completely masks any avocado flavor - even skeptics never guess.
