An amazing recipe for creating a rich, creamy mousse without dairy…perfect for people who are vegan or who just can’t do dairy but still want a rich creamy sweet treat. The healthy fat from avos creates a lovely richness and combined with a little cocoa power, some sweetener and a little blending action, a deliciously easy no-cook dessert can be made in minutes!

For a decadent but healthy dessert, this delicious avocado chocolate mousse recipe contains just 5 simple ingredients and comes together in under 10 minutes!

You might not think avocados + chocolate go well together, but believe me they do. Blending ripe avocados with rich cocoa creates a decadent dessert that’s not only irresistibly velvety but also surprisingly good for you (heart-healthy good fats and antioxidants from the avocados). Win!

Quick to prepare and effortlessly elegant, this vegan mousse is an easy sweet treat for any occasion. It’s delicious – really rich and dark, with a smooth creamy texture. Perfect to satisfy those chocolate cravings.

But the best part? It only takes 10 minutes and 5 ingredients to make. And I promise you won’t notice the avocado taste!

Why avocado works in chocolate mousse:

Avocado provides a silky texture and subtle nutty flavour, which when combined with cocoa powder and good quality coconut milk in this simple recipe creates a creamy, indulgent mousse.

Because of its healthy fats, including avocado in this chocolate mousse will help stabilize your blood sugar – so you won’t get one of those nasty sugar slumps after eating!

It’s delicious – really rich and dark, with a smooth creamy texture. Perfect to satisfy those chocolate cravings.

Just 5 ingredients to create the most divine thick, creamy and rich chocolate mousse that happens to be low carb and really. really good for you.

So, what’s the big secret? It’s no secret really, but it is a secret weapon that has the low carb, Paleo and clean eating world going mad. And most recently….me too.

Refrigerated coconut cream is the saviour of many low carb desserts, acting as whipped cream or pudding with the added health benefits of ‘good for you fats.’

People trying to reduce their sugar intake often complain about the lack of sweets in their quest to get healthier. That’s because a low-carb way of eating is very focused on eliminating harmful sugar from your diet. But there are options for that lingering sweet tooth in your life.

Hence this healthy mousse is both low-carb and packed with healthy fats and antioxidants. Eating more healthy fats is a great way to help satisfying your sweet cravings without the sugar.

Not only is this mousse insanely delicious and easy to prepare, it also comes with some surprising health benefits. From vitamins and minerals to plenty of healthy fats that support hormone health and neurotransmitter production, these little delights are the perfect addition to any healthy eating plan.

Super rich, uber decadent, chocolate mousse – but secretly healthy and guilt-free!  Yup, that means no butter, no white sugar and no sweetened condensed milk…  just pure, creamy, dreamy, chocolatey goodness.

This recipe is a simple and delicious way to incorporate the amazing health benefits of coconut into your lifestyle, as its bursting with nutrition and good stuff.

Optional Add In –

If you make this Chocolate Mousse, I recommend you absolutely have to make some whipped coconut cream for the topping (recipe below in notes). Then sprinkle with more shaved chocolate and mentally prepare yourself for the richest and most decadent dessert that’s no longer low in fat (because high fat is better for you, until they decide otherwise), but full of beautiful silky smooth chocolate.

Layers on layers on layers…

I’m sure there have been many foodies before me to have done this but I had to share this one. Because not only is it whipped-and-so-thick-and-creamy-and-rich-that-your-mouth-waters-while-eating-this-thing…you then get the crunch of shaved dark chocolate in every mouthful.

Doesn’t get any better than that!  😊

Servings 2

Ingredients

• 1/2 avocado, pitted, peeled and cubed
• 1 13.5 oz can coconut cream, full fat (solid part only) *see note below
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings Optional

• Dollop of whipped coconut cream - recipe below in notes
• Fresh berries
• Shaved or grated chocolate and/or cocoa powder.

Instructions

• Note: Place the can of coconut cream in the fridge or freezer for at least 1-2 hours before making these bars to allow coconut cream to separate.

  Open chilled can and scoop out the cream that has separated and set hard on the top. Save the remaining coconut water to use in a smoothie, drink, or discard. I give it to my dogs and they love it!

  Add all ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor.

  Blend for about 20 seconds, then stop and scrape sides of blender jug down if necessary.

  Process until mousse is smooth and lump-free.

  Spoon into two containers and you can enjoy immediately but I find it best if chilled in fridge for at least an hour.

  Decorate with fresh berries, whipped coconut  cream (recipe below in notes), grated chocolate and/or cocoa powder.

  Storage - Store uneaten mousse in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. This mousse can be frozen.
