Description
Enjoy a rich, creamy Vegan Chocolate Mousse that feels completely indulgent but keeps your dessert guilt-free. This recipe captures the comfort of homemade sweetness, just like Grandma used to make, but keeps the steps simple for your busy life.
Ingredients
- Avocados: 2 ripe
- Cocoa Powder: 1/2 cup unsweetened
- Maple Syrup: 1/4 cup (adjust to taste)
- Plant Milk (e.g., Almond or Soy): 1/4 cup
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Place the ripe avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup, plant milk, vanilla extract, and salt into a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Blend the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
- Taste the mousse. Add more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. Blend again briefly.
- Spoon the mousse into small serving dishes or ramekins.
- Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly.
- Serve cold. You can top it with fresh berries or a dusting of cocoa powder before serving.
Notes
- Using very ripe avocados is key for the smoothest texture.
- For an extra deep chocolate flavor, try adding a teaspoon of instant coffee powder.
- This mousse sets best when chilled for an hour or more.
- This recipe comes from Savana Loyal, who believes easy food should always taste like you spent all day making it.
