Chocolate Avocado Mousse by Mia Rigden

Yield: 4 Servings

When life gives you ripe avocados? But seriously, this chocolate avocado mousse doesn’t taste at all like a “healthier” version of a classic. It’s just as delicious as the original, but full of healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber and antioxidants, and can be made completely sugar free. To make it extra fancy, enjoy with a spoonful of coconut whipped cream.

INGREDIENTS

2 ripe avocados
¼ cup raw cacao powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup 70% + dark chocolate chips
¼ cup milk (your choice!)
¼ cup Lakanto monk fruit sweetener (can also use maple syrup, honey or coconut sugar)
Pinch sea salt
Toppings: Cacao nibs, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Fill a medium sized saucepan about a third of the way up with water and heat to a simmer. Place a glass or metal bowl on top and fill with the dark chocolate chips. Stir with a spatula until melted.
Place all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender (including melted chocolate), and blend until fully combined. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides a few times to avoid any avocado chucks and ensure a creamy texture.
Portion into 4-6 individual containers and top with cacao nibs, pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds 4. Lasts in the fridge for about 3 days.
