Ingredients
  • 2 medium Ripe Avocados
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 cup Almond Milk (or other milk substitute)
  • 1/4 cup Erythritol (or other sugar-free sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Pinch of Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Optional: Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Gather your ingredients. Make sure your avocados are ripe for the best texture.

Blending the Mousse

In a food processor or blender, combine the avocados, cocoa powder, almond milk, erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything is well incorporated.

Adjusting Sweetness

Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more erythritol, one tablespoon at a time. Blend again after each addition.

Chilling

Transfer the mousse to individual serving dishes or a single bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up. Chilling for a longer period (up to 2 hours) will result in a firmer mousse.

Garnishing (Optional)

Before serving, garnish with sugar-free chocolate chips, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or fresh berries.

Serving

Serve chilled and enjoy!
