Chocolate Mousse

This silky chocolate mousse gets its ultra-creamy texture from avocados, creating a rich, indulgent dessert with a wholesome twist.

Ingredients

50g dark chocolate, roughly chopped

2 avocados, pits and skins removed

50g cocoa powder (+ extra for dusting)

2 tsp. vanilla extract

50ml maple syrup

Pinch of sea salt

Equipments

Food processor or hand whisk

For

4-6 people

Instructions

  1. To melt the chopped chocolate in a bain-marie, put the chocolate in a small bowl and place the bowl over a saucepan of hot water ensuring that the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Simmer the water on a low heat while stirring the chocolate until it’s melted and smooth.
  2. Blend the melted chocolate with the rest of the ingredients together in a food processor until super smooth, or alternatively use a hand whisk (this will take a bit longer). Spoon the mousse into 4 or 6 serving glasses or little bowls, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. I recommend martini glasses for an impressive presentation.
  3. To serve, use a small sieve to dust some cocoa powder over the top of the mousse.
