Avocado chocolate mousse, silky smooth without cream and easy procedure to follow. A delicious dessert with just few simple easily available ingredients.
If you are craving got something chocolatey and have avocado in your pantry, you should try this avocado chocolate mousse. Avocado has all good fat in it which makes the texture smooth and rich. I have used honey as sweetener in this recipe which also helps thickening the mousse for it's texture. Also love the procedure where no need for whipping.
It is just blend everything in a processor. Tastes best when chilled for 1 hr at least prior serving. I tried adding orange zest in this, but I think it was a bad idea as it spoils the texture of the mousse as it comes in the mouth in between. So I am omitting in the recipe.

Enjoy the chocolate avocado mousse with some chocolate shavings as topping. Or even can top with some whipped cream, fruits or mini chocolate chips as I did.

Hi, Rajeswari,
Thank you for the recipe. I have been making chocolate mousse with
avocado, but I do it a bit differently. I melt chocolate, panela (dried sugar cane), peanut butter in a pan with either coconut oil or butter and stir until well mixed. After cooling a bit, I put 1 1/2 avocados in a food processor, then add the chocolate mixture and blend. You can try putting several drops of orange essential oil (instead of zest) and some cinnamon for extra flavor. A bit of milk will make it extra creamy.
