Avocado Chocolate Mousse

A gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, low carb, vegan, and paleo dessert. This easy avocado chocolate mousse can be made in a blender in 2 minutes!

This avocado chocolate mousse is a combination of healthy and delicious ingredients that come together to create a dense, rich, and silky smooth pudding.

The best thing about this recipe is that it’s so simple and quick to make. All you need is a couple of avocados, a splash of unsweetened almond milk, agave nectar, raw cacao powder, chia powder, salt, and a touch of almond extract. Just throw everything in the blender and mix until creamy and smooth. The avocado gives this mousse its creamy texture and the chia powder works as a thickening agent. 

Serve the chocolate mousse plain or topped with cacao nibs, fresh raspberries, and/or whipped coconut cream.

What does avocado chocolate mousse taste like? 

Don’t worry, you will only taste a faint hint of avocado. While it’s not quite the same as a classic mousse, it’s not far off and so much better for you.

Give it a twist!

This dessert is also easily customizable. I used raw cacao powder, but you could always use unsweetened cocoa powder instead. Replace the agave nectar with honey, or maple syrup, and adjust the amount to your taste. If you can’t find chia powder grind chia seeds in a food processor or coffee grinder. Substitute the almond milk with coconut milk, cashew milk, or any other plant-based milk. Not a fan of almond extract? Vanilla works just as well!

How to store leftovers

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
