Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe avocados (about 9 oz / 250g total, peeled and pitted)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for nut-free)
- 1/4 cup powdered keto-friendly sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Fresh raspberries (about 1/2 cup, for garnish)
- Shaved dark chocolate or cacao nibs (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Peel and pit the avocados, checking for any bruised spots.
- Place avocado flesh in a blender or food processor. Add cocoa powder, almond milk, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, pausing to scrape down the sides with a spatula. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust: add more sweetener or cocoa powder if desired, then blend again briefly.
- Check texture: mousse should be glossy, rich, and hold soft peaks. If too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add more avocado or cocoa powder.
- Optional: Transfer mousse to a bowl and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes for extra thickness and melded flavors.
- Spoon mousse into small bowls or glasses. Top with fresh raspberries, shaved chocolate or cacao nibs, and mint leaves.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
Use perfectly ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor. Sift cocoa powder to avoid clumps. Powdered sweetener blends smoother than granular. Chill mousse for 30 minutes for a firmer texture. Garnish with berries, mint, or shaved chocolate for extra flavor and presentation. For nut-free, use coconut milk. Adjust sweetness and chocolate intensity to taste.
