If you’ve never tried avocado chocolate mousse before, this healthy recipe will take you completely by surprise! It is rich and silky smooth… and you really can’t taste the avocado. The idea of avocado chocolate mousse has been popular on the health food scene for years, but some of the recipes out there are unfortunately so awful they only prove true mainstream society’s claim that avocado chocolate mousse is too weird or too healthy to really be dessert. This is exactly what happened to me a few years back when one of my friends found a recipe for avocado chocolate mousse and decided we should try it. The results were so terrible that it took me five years to even think about coming up with my own version of the popular dessert.
I know a chocolate mousse made with avocado can totally sound weird to some of you. I get it. First time I heard about it I was like “eww this can’t be good” but I’m a food daredevil and everyone kept saying it is actually really tasty so I gave it a try anyway. And I’m glad I did! This vegan avocado chocolate mousse sure doesn’t taste like french super rich crazy chocolate mousse but it does have a great creamy + silky texture, the chocolate taste shines through and you can barely tell there is avocado in here. The best part about this avocado chocolate mousse is that it tastes so decadent and so sinful that you completely forget you’re getting so many health benefits at the same time!
Avocados are 100% cholesterol-free, contribute nearly 20 vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients; and just one serving of the superfood offers eight percent of the daily value of fiber—a nutrient which provides a feeling of fullness and has also been found to potentially reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
With less than one gram of sugar per ounce, avocados have the least amount of sugar per serving of any fruit, and they act as a “nutrient booster” by helping the body to better absorb fat-soluble nutrients. Avocados are basically magic is what I’m saying. When combined with some cocoa powder and melted vegan chocolate and a few other things you’ll never guess there’s avocado in there at all. What you have instead is the most perfectly smooth wonderfully textured chocolate mousse of your dreams. Like I said, basically magic.
