Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe avocados
  • 4 pitted Medjool dates
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (almond, coconut, soy, etc.)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
  • Pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)

For Serving

  • Coconut whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Cut avocados: Cut the avocados in half. Remove the pits and scoop out the flesh into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Add all ingredients: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Add the melted chocolate along with the pitted dates, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt to the blender or food processor.
  3. Blend: Process the mixture until it is completely smooth and no chunks remain, approximately 1 full minute.
  4. Taste and adjust: Taste the mousse and add more maple syrup or cocoa powder if desired to suit your sweetness and chocolate preference.
  5. Refrigerate: Transfer the mousse to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and chill.
  6. Serve: Serve the mousse chilled, topped with coconut whipped cream or fresh berries. Optionally, fold a few scoops of coconut whipped cream into the mousse for a lighter, fluffier texture before serving.

Notes

  • Medjool dates should be pitted before adding to the blender.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste.
  • Use a high-speed blender or food processor for the smoothest texture.
  • Chilling the mousse is important for the best consistency and flavor.
  • This mousse can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
