Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Difficulty: EASY

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Serving Size: 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 4 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate — or chocolate chips, at least 60% dark, about 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons
  • 2 large ripe avocados
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk Cashew Milk Blend
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Optional: 1–3 teaspoons light agave nectar — or maple syrup
  • For serving: fresh raspberries — sliced strawberries, whipped cream (or whipped coconut cream to keep vegan), chocolate shaving

Directions:

  1. Place the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring between each and watching carefully so that the chocolate does not burn.
  2. When the chocolate is almost completely melted, remove it from the microwave and stir until smooth. Set aside and let cool until just barely warm.
  3. Halve and pit the avocados, then scoop them into a food processor fitted with a steel blade or high-powered blender.
  4. Add the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, Almond milk Cashew milk blend, vanilla extract, and salt.
  5. Blend until very smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed.
  6. Taste and add a few teaspoons of agave if additional sweetness is desired. Spoon into glasses.
  7. Enjoy immediately as a pudding, or for a thicker, mousse-like consistency, refrigerate until well chilled, 2 hours or overnight.
  8. Serve topped with raspberries, cream, and chocolate shavings.
