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.
