Ingredients:
- 2 cups of dark chocolate (about 200g), roughly chopped
- 2 medium-sized ripe avocados (or 1 large)
- 1/3 cup of milk, plus extra if needed to adjust consistency
- 2 to 3 tbsp liquid sweetener of choice (e.g., honey, agave, golden syrup, or maple syrup)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- Fresh mint, strawberries, and grated chocolate for garnish
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes (excluding chilling time)
Servings: 3 to 4
Equipment:
- Glass bowl
- Pot for simmering water
- Food processor
- Spatula
- Ramekins for serving
Cooking Instructions:
1. Begin by placing your roughly chopped dark chocolate into a glass bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring that the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl -- the steam alone should melt the chocolate.
2. Gently stir the chocolate occasionally until it's completely melted, which should take around 5 minutes. Once melted, remove the bowl from the pot and set aside to cool while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
3. Cut your avocados in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and place it into the food processor.
4. Add in the 1/3 cup of milk and your liquid sweetener to the avocado, adjusting the sweetness based on personal preference.
5. For an extra chocolatey flavor, incorporate the tablespoon of cocoa powder into the mixture.
6. Pour the cooled melted chocolate into the processor with your avocado mixture.
7. Blend all ingredients together, starting on a low speed and increasing to high until the mixture becomes smooth and velvety. At first, it might appear crumbly, but continue to blend until you achieve the desired consistency.
8. Spoon the chocolate mousse into ramekins and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, strawberry slices, and a sprinkle of grated chocolate.
9. Serve immediately for a softer consistency or chill in the refrigerator to allow the mousse to set slightly and intensify the flavors. This mousse can be made in advance and chilled until needed.
10. Enjoy this guilt-free Avocado Chocolate Mousse Elegance – a dessert that's as impressive in texture as it is in taste.
Cooking Tips:
If the mousse is too thick, gradually add more milk until you reach the perfect consistency. Feel free to double or triple the recipe for more servings.
