- Avocados - these make the perfect creamy base for this mousse. And don't worry, you can't taste them! Be sure to use ripe avocados to make this chocolate mousse.
- Coconut milk - to help make this mousse so creamy and delicious. I recommend using full fat coconut milk to make it extra thick and creamy. Low fat coconut milk is more watery so won't give the mousse the same texture.
- Cocoa powder - to give this recipe the most rich chocolate flavour. You can use cacao powder instead.
- Maple syrup or honey - either of these natural sweeteners work to make this raw dessert and keep it refined sugar free. If you are vegan be sure to use maple syrup.
Recipe variations and add ins:
- Instead of coconut milk you could use unsweetened cashew milk to make this chocolate avocado mousse.
- Feel free to add a little salt to this chocolate dessert. The sweet and salty combination is so good!
- Feel free to double or triple this recipe if you are serving a crowd or icing a cake.
