Healthy Avocado Chocolate Mousse

This vegan mousse is almost too good to be true! The avocado has healthy fats and adds a creaminess to the mousse that you don’t get with most mousses. This recipe is simple to follow and requires few ingredients. We especially like the mousse topped with raspberries as they add a fresh balance to the sweetness, but you can get creative and add your own toppings!

Ingredients (Serves 1-2):

1 Large ripe avocado

⅓ cup raw cocoa powder

¼ cup coconut milk (alternatively, use almond milk, but we prefer the taste of coconut!)

2 tsp stevia (alternatively, another natural sweetener or maple syrup)

1 tsp natural vanilla extract

Optional toppings: raspberries, chia seeds or toasted almonds

 

Directions:

Place all ingredients (save the toppings) in a blender and puree until smooth and silky.

Once all is mixed well, if it’s too thick for your liking, simply add a touch more milk until desired thickness is achieved.

Spoon into serving cups and place in the fridge until you’re ready for a treat. Just before serving, add the toppings and enjoy!
