Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Avooocadooo! A creamy, yummy treat that everyone loves and enjoys eating in many different ways. What happens to be your favorite? A smoothie, baked, with salads, with sushi, or as a buttery treat with a bit of sugar? Well, I like all of the above but my favorite way of enjoying avocados is smashed avocado on toasts. Today’s recipe is not about another avocado toast. Today’s recipe is healthy chocolate avocado mousse. 

Some people believe that eating avocado is not as healthy as it contains high fat. Yes, it’s true but it’s monounsaturated fat which is a good kind of fat, the kind of fat we should have as part of our regular diet. According to the Health line, these fats can help with weight loss, reduce the risk of heart disease, and decrease inflammation. Some of the healthy benefits of these fats are; 

• May Help You Lose Weight
• Help Reduce Risk Factors for Heart Disease
• Help Reduce Cancer Risk
• May Help to Improve Insulin Sensitivity
• May Reduce Inflammation

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients

• 02 medium-sized ripe avocado
• 02 tbsp of chocolate spread – Shop at PeasloveLk
• 02 tbsp of cocoa power
• 1/4 cup of coconut milk
• 1/4 tsp of salt

Making Avocado Chocolate Mousse

• Give a taste and adjust the sweetness if you require.
• Scoop down everything into a ramekin, or any dessert cup you have.
• Refrigerate for 05-06 hours or overnight for best results until chilled and serve with some of your favorite toppings. You can top this with some berries, crushed nuts, or simply some desiccated coconuts

Tips to make the best avocado mousse

• Make sure you pick the best kind of avocados to make this recipe – Picking a rich, flavored, and textured avocado is really tricky. When buying avocados make sure you buy the dark green and black speckled skin avocados which are soft to touch. 
• If you don’t have chocolate spread then you can simply use some Nutella or melted chocolates.
• You can use any plant-based milk to make this recipe but I’ve added coconut milk because it adds a nice flavor and very rich creaminess to any kind of sweet dessert.
• If you don’t have coconut sugar then you can add any sweetener you like, regular sugar, bee honey, maple syrup. If you are adding liquid sweetener then make sure to reduce the amount of milk otherwise the texture would be a little runny.
