Whipped avocado chocolate mousse is a no-bake, no-sugar, dreamy dessert made with only 4 ingredients.
Holly’s Highlights
- Flavor: Rich, chocolatey, and dairy-free avocado mousse is a delicious way to get those protein grams in.
- Skill Level: This vegan recipe couldn’t be easier. Just blend, chill, and serve.
- Recommended Tools: A food processor works best for a light and creamy mousse.
Irresistible Ingredients
- Avocado: Use a large, ripe, whole avocado for this recipe. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh before blending.
- Prep Note: Avocado chocolate mousse can be made up to 4 days ahead, so it’s perfect for last-minute guests.
- Cocoa Powder: Use any brand of cocoa powder in this recipe, but Dutch-pressed cocoa powder is a little higher in antioxidants. For the best results, whisk it to remove any clumps before measuring it out.
- Sweetener: Swerve measures just like white sugar and doesn’t leave a bitter aftertaste. You can also use Stevia, Lakanto (monk fruit) syrup, or your favorite sweetener, but be sure to check the package for conversions. Honey and maple syrup can also be used, but keep in mind this would make it non-keto.
Dress Up Dessert
- Serve avocado chocolate mousse in cute teacups, wine glasses, or fun, colorful bowls.
- Fancify mousse even further with a dollop of whipped cream, and tasty keto-friendly toppings like fresh blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, sliced almonds, pistachios, or coconut.
- Make some Keto chocolate chip cookies or chocolate coconut cookies and use them as decoration crushed on top or served on the side.
- Make a peanut butter mousse and layer the two flavors for a tasty twist on a peanut butter cup.
How to Make Avocado Chocolate Mousse
- Process avocado until smooth (full recipe below).
- Add remaining ingredients and pulse to the desired consistency.
- Adjust sweetener, divide into bowls, and chill 1 hour.
- Top with whipped cream and optional toppings.
Time Savers
- Make sure the avocado is fully ripe. Quickly ripen an avocado by placing it in a paper bag with an apple or a banana. The ethylene gas released by the fruit will ripen the avocado in about a day.
- Alternatively, you can wrap the avocado with aluminum foil and bake for 10-15 minutes at 200°F. Cool before using.
- Be sure avocado is completely blended with no chunks remaining. You may need to add a little water or heavy whipping cream for an extra creamy mousse.
Lovely Leftovers
- Keep leftover avocado chocolate mousse in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze in containers for up to 2 months. Stir before serving again.
- Avocado chocolate mousse makes a decadent frozen dessert. Freeze some in popsicle molds for a warm-weather treat even the kids will love.
