Print Recipe

A rich, silky, and indulgent vegan chocolate mousse made with ripe avocados, cocoa powder, and natural sweeteners. Perfect for a quick, fuss-free dessert that’s both healthy and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and pitted (approx. 8.5 oz / 240g avocado flesh)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (25g)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (60ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3–4 tablespoons almond milk (45-60ml), for adjusting consistency
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder for mocha flavor

Instructions

  1. Cut 2 medium ripe avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop the flesh into your blender or food processor bowl.
  2. Add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/4 cup maple syrup to the avocado.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. If desired, add 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder for a mocha twist.
  4. Blend the mixture on high, scraping down the sides as needed, until silky smooth and lump-free, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. If the mousse is too thick, add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time and blend until smooth and spoonable.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or consistency by adding more maple syrup or almond milk as needed.
  7. Transfer mousse into serving dishes, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and meld flavors.
  8. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid bitterness. Blend thoroughly and scrape down the sides often for a smooth texture. Chill for at least 30 minutes; overnight chilling enhances flavor and texture. Optional espresso powder adds mocha depth. Can substitute maple syrup with agave or mashed banana for sweetness. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days. Not ideal for freezing.
