Chocolate Avocado Mousse - Real Recipes from Mums

The mousse is rich and decadent and you would never believe it is made from avocado’s. You can serve it with your favourite fruit and dip the fruit into the mousse.The recipe makes enough for 4 people as a small snack. I like to serve mine in a teacup for something different.

Ingredients (makes 1 cup)

1 large very ripe Haas avocado
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
pinch salt
2 tablespoons good quality dutch cocoa powder
1/4 cup almond milk

Method

Place the avocado, maple syrup, vanilla and salt into a food processor and blend well. Sift in the cocoa powder. Add in half of almond milk and process until smooth, about 30 seconds, stopping once to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Keep adding in more of the almond milk until you have a thick rich creamy silky consistency.
Serve immediately with your favourite fruit

Such an interesting recipe – could something else be substituted for the chocolate/cocoa powder? I must try to find something.

I’d love to try this with my hubby and kids. None of them would normally eat an avocado!

Wow I would have never thought of that, I love mousse but never had avocado with it so something worth trying.
