Ingredients
  • 1 large, ripe Avocado
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2-3 tablespoons Erythritol or Monk Fruit Sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Optional: Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender. Ensure the avocado is ripe for the best texture.

Blending

Step 2: Combine Ingredients: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, heavy cream, erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener), vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor or blender.

Blend Until Smooth

Step 3: Blend: Blend all ingredients until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor or blender a few times to ensure everything is well combined. The mixture should be thick and mousse-like.

Taste and Adjust

Step 4: Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mousse and add more erythritol or monk fruit sweetener if needed, adjusting to your preferred level of sweetness.

Chill and Serve

Step 5: Chill: Transfer the mousse to serving dishes or glasses. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up slightly. Chilling will also improve the texture.

Garnish and Serve

Step 6: Garnish (Optional): Before serving, garnish with sugar-free chocolate chips, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful keto chocolate treat!
