Equipment

  • Blender or food processor

Ingredients

  • 4.59 ounces avocado pulp approx. 1 large or 1½ small avocado
  • 4 tablespoons cacao/cocoa powder
  • ⅗ cup cashew nuts
  • ½ cup+1tbsp almond milk
  • 6½ tablespoons maple syrup or to taste
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients in a blender and puree until silky smooth.
  • Spoon the mousse into your dessert pots and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Alternatively place in the freezer for 15 minutes then serve.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocado.
  • Cacao: I tend to use cacao in my raw chocolate recipes but cocoa powder is fine too.
  • Make it vegan: Use either regular milk or almond milk to enjoy this mousse vegan. I do not recommend using coconut milk as the flavour might be too overpowering plus it would make the mousse a bit too rich.
  • I recommend using a high speed blender for a super smooth and creamy consistency (it's also very quick). If you use a food processor it will take several minutes to get the consistency you want.
  • Make it ahead: Refrigerate, covered for up to 2 days. Spoon into your dessert pots shortly before serving.
  • Serving suggestions: Serve on its own, with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit, such as berries. 
  • Freeze for up to 3 months.
