5-Ingredient Healthy Avocado Chocolate Mousse

This 5-ingredient delicious avocado chocolate mousse is packed full of goodness and comes together in minutes. In addition to the avocado it contains nutritious cacao, cashew nuts for extra natural sweetness and nutty flavour, milk and maple syrup. 

Can you taste the avocado in this healthy chocolate mousse

Not at all! The avocado is well hidden among the cacao, cashews, maple syrup and milk, which together create a deliciously rich and creamy dessert. No one will guess it contains avocado!

This avocado chocolate mousse tastes like the creamiest milk chocolate yet contains no chocolate or cream or even sugar.  This simple dessert can be made ahead so it's perfect for entertaining.

Avocado may not necessarily be what comes to mind when we think of indulgent desserts but its creamy texture and mild flavour can be used to create all sorts of 'sweet things'.  For example I used avocado for added goodness and colour in this avocado muffins recipe with raspberries.  It made this raspberry smoothie super rich and creamy. Avocado also added creaminess and colour to my key lime cheesecake pie.

Expert tips and FAQs

• Cacao: I tend to use cacao in my raw chocolate recipes but cocoa powder is fine too.
• Make it vegan: Use either regular milk or almond milk to enjoy this mousse vegan. I do not recommend using coconut milk as the flavour might be too overpowering plus it would make the mousse a bit too rich.
• Make it ahead: Refrigerate, covered for up to 3 days. Spoon into your dessert pots shortly before serving.
• I recommend using a high speed blender for a super smooth and creamy consistency.
• Serving suggestions: Serve on its own, with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit, such as berries.
