Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted (approx. 300g / 10.5 oz flesh)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (25g / 0.9oz)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100g / 3.5 oz)
  • ¼ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy) (60ml / 2 fl oz)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed (30ml / 1 fl oz)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml / 0.17 fl oz)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or whipped cream for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Scoop out the avocado flesh and add it to the blender. Make sure you got all the pit out!
  2. Add the cocoa powder, sugar, milk, lime juice, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender.
  3. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
  4. Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness or lime juice to your preference. Add a bit more sugar for extra sweetness or a squeeze more lime juice for a brighter flavor.
  5. Divide the avocado mousse evenly among the serving glasses or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mousse to prevent a skin from forming.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set properly.
  7. Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
