Chocolate Mousse
We all need a sweet treat every now and then and if you’re like me, it tends to be something with chocolate more often than not! At least I know when I am eating this treat, it isn’t going to make me bloat up like a balloon like a serving of jello pudding would. It’s also free of all the nasties that come along with processed food. I use this recipe over and over again because it’s JUST SO GOOD! It would make a perfect spring time dessert like Easter! I served mine in mini cups as it is very rich, a little goes a loooooong way!
Ingredients
- -3 large ripe avocados
- -1 ripe banana
- -3/4 cup cacao powder
- -1/2 cup maple syrup (use more or less depending on the level of sweetness you want)
- -Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Mix the avocado and banana first in a food processor until well blended.
- Add in the cacao powder and blend until incorporated.
- Add in your sweetener and blend for a few seconds, taste test and add more sweetener until desired sweetness is reached.
- Enjoy right away by scooping into small serving dishes and garnish with your favorite toppings, or place in the fridge to let it thicken up for a few hours for a more mousse like consistency!
I topped mine with coconut cream, chocolate shavings and edible flowers. You could also top with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc. This would be fun to layer with cake or a grain free granola too! There are so many things you could do with this creamy delicious chocolate delight! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
This looks amazing, Kendra!! I’m soooo happy you’re officially blogging now! :)
Oh that looks very yummy. I will have to try this :)
[…] If you haven’t tried using avocados in your desserts I highly suggest you start now! They’re full of healthy fats and add such a delightful creamy texture that lends a wonderful richness to dairy free desserts. You can also check out another fun Avocado dessert recipe of mine HERE! […]
