Print Recipe

A rich and smooth dairy-free chocolate mousse made with ripe avocados, pure maple syrup, and vanilla. This easy homemade dessert is vegan, gluten-free, and ready in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) almond milk or any dairy-free milk (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into your blender or food processor bowl.
  2. Add 1/4 cup (25 g) of unsweetened cocoa powder to the blender.
  3. Pour in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of pure maple syrup.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt.
  5. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of almond or dairy-free milk and blend again.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa as desired.
  7. Transfer the mousse into serving dishes or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  8. Before serving, garnish with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or shaved chocolate if desired.

Notes

Use ripe avocados for smooth texture. Blend thoroughly and scrape sides for best results. Adjust sweetness gradually with maple syrup. Chill mousse well before serving. Avoid using water to thin mousse as it dilutes flavor. Natural cocoa powder is preferred over Dutch-processed for best flavor.
