Yes, avocado mousse is real and it is spectacular. Ripe avocados blend into a silky, rich base that tastes purely of chocolate. Nobody will guess the secret ingredient. It is dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and comes together in about five minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup TN maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of Redmond Real Salt
- Toppings: cacao nibs, fresh berries, or coconut whipped cream
*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.
Directions
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a food processor or blender.
- Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut milk, vanilla, and salt.
- Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until completely smooth with no lumps.
- Taste and adjust sweetness. Add more maple syrup if desired.
- Divide among small bowls or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Top with cacao nibs, berries, or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
Notes
- The avocados must be perfectly ripe. Underripe avocados will not blend smooth.
- For a richer flavor, use cacao powder instead of cocoa. It has a deeper, more complex taste.
- This keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days, though it is best eaten fresh.
