A rich and silky vegan chocolate mousse made with ripe avocados, cocoa powder, and natural sweeteners. This healthy dessert is quick to prepare, dairy-free, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or vegan whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into your blender or food processor (about 3 minutes).
  2. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and pour the maple syrup over the avocado.
  3. Pour in the almond milk and vanilla extract.
  4. Add a pinch of sea salt to balance the flavors.
  5. Blend in 20-second bursts, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed, until smooth and silky (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more maple syrup or almond milk if needed.
  7. Spoon the mousse into small bowls or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to thicken and meld flavors.
  8. Serve chilled, garnished with optional toppings like fresh berries, chopped nuts, or vegan whipped cream.

Notes

Use ripe Hass avocados for the creamiest texture. If mousse is too thick after chilling, stir in a tablespoon of almond milk before serving. Clean blender immediately after use to avoid chocolate residue. For nut allergies, substitute almond milk with oat or rice milk. Chill mousse for at least 30 minutes for best texture. Optional variations include adding peppermint extract, raspberry puree, cayenne, or vegan protein powder.
