Chocolate and coffee related desserts are one of our favorite things. Including avocado in a chocolate mousse recipe is something new for us too. But don’t be afraid–it’s worth a try.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (about 2 ounces) dark chocolate 70% or higher, melted
- 4 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1/4 cup light coconut milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoons espresso or instant coffee
- whipped cream, optional
Our Zapped Espresso is perfect for this recipe.
Instructions
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and set aside to cool slightly.
2. Meanwhile, place your avocados in the food processor and blend until creamy. Add all of the remaining ingredients, including the melted chocolate and blend until everything is thoroughly creamed together, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust according to taste. The dark chocolate is pretty dominant in this mousse, so you might want to add more honey or sweetener of your choice.
3. Spoon mixture into small serving bowls and place in the fridge for 1 hour. Serve with whipped cream, if desired and enjoy!
