How to make Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients

• 2 Large avocados, peeled, pitted, and cubed
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup brown sugar (You can use maple syrup, honey, or a ripe banana for a different flavor)
• 1/3 cup of any kind of milk you prefer (almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, etc.)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (Feel free to experiment with almond, coconut, or mint extract for unique flavors)
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon (or adjust with nutmeg, allspice, cloves, or ginger for a different twist)

Directions

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the peeled, pitted, and cubed avocados.
2. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the avocados.
3. Pour in the sweetener of your choice, whether it’s brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, or a ripe banana.
4. Add the milk of your preference, such as cow’s milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or any other milk alternative.
5. Incorporate the vanilla extract for a classic flavor or experiment with almond, coconut, or mint extract for a unique twist.
6. If desired, add a pinch of ground cinnamon for a touch of warmth, or try nutmeg, allspice, cloves, or ginger for different flavor profiles. Adjust the amount according to your taste preferences.
7. Using an immersion blender, high-powered blender, or food processor, blend all the ingredients until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
8. Transfer the avocado chocolate pudding into a container and refrigerate it for approximately 30 minutes or until it’s chilled and ready to enjoy as a pudding.
9. Spoon into dessert cups. Serve well-chilled, with a dollop of coconut cream, if desired.

Options to consider
