Ingredients

Mousse

  • 2 medium ripe avocados, pitted and scooped
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Garnish

  • 12 fresh raspberries (about 1/4 cup)

Directions

  1. Add the avocado, cocoa, powdered sweetener, almond milk, cream, vanilla and salt to a food processor or blender.
  2. Blend 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides twice, until completely smooth with no green flecks.
  3. Taste and add another tablespoon of almond milk if it is too thick to swirl.
  4. Spoon into 4 small glasses or ramekins. Chill 30 minutes to firm and deepen the flavor.
  5. Top each with 3 raspberries just before serving.
Tip: Use avocados that yield to gentle pressure but are not stringy or brown inside. Underripe fruit tastes grassy.
Dad jokeMy chocolate mousse is made with avocado, but please keep it on the down low. It is guac-ward to talk about.
