Ingredients
  • 2 medium Ripe Avocados
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 cup Plant-Based Milk (Almond, Soy, or Oat)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Pinch of Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Vegan Chocolate Chips (Optional)

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Avocados Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or high-speed blender. Step 2: Blend the Ingredients Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor or blender. Step 3: Blend Until Smooth Blend all the ingredients together until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated. The mixture should be free of any avocado chunks. Step 4: Adjust Sweetness Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Add more maple syrup for a sweeter flavor, or a pinch more salt to enhance the chocolate notes. Step 5: Chill the Mousse Transfer the mousse to serving glasses or bowls. Cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface of the mousse to prevent a skin from forming) and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up. Step 6: Garnish and Serve Before serving, garnish with vegan chocolate chips, fresh berries, or a dusting of cocoa powder, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!

FAQ

  • Can I use regular milk instead of plant-based milk?

    While you can use regular milk, it will no longer be a vegan recipe. Using plant-based milk is crucial for maintaining the vegan status of the dessert. Almond, soy, or oat milk are excellent substitutes.
  • My mousse is too thick. What should I do?

    If your mousse is too thick, add a tablespoon or two more of plant-based milk until you reach your desired consistency. Blend again until smooth.
  • Can I freeze the mousse?

    Freezing the mousse is not recommended as it can change the texture and consistency. It's best to prepare it fresh and chill it in the refrigerator for the optimal taste and texture.
