Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate (or dark chocolate, 70%)
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Gently melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently to ensure it melts evenly without burning. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly before incorporating to avoid a grainy texture in the mousse.
- Blend Base Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, coconut milk, sea salt, and maple syrup. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Add Melted Chocolate: Slowly pour in the cooled melted chocolate whilst continuing to blend until fully combined. Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mousse is too thick, add a little more coconut milk to loosen the mixture. Remember, the mousse will thicken further when chilled.
- Serve and Chill: Spoon the mousse evenly into serving cups. Garnish with fresh berries and chocolate shavings if desired. You may serve immediately for a soft texture or refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to achieve a firmer mousse. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure the melted chocolate is cooled before mixing to prevent graininess.
- You can substitute maple syrup with agave nectar or honey if not strictly vegan.
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality 70% or higher dark chocolate.
- The mousse is best served within 2 days of preparation.
- Adjust the thickness by varying the amount of coconut milk.
