This avocado chocolate mousse is a rich and creamy dessert that's perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. Made with avocado and dairy-free chocolate, this healthy chocolate mousse is not only delicious, but also gluten-free, Paleo-friendly, and kid-friendly.
Add avocados, dates, cocoa powder, vanilla, coconut yogurt, instant espresso, and salt to a food processor or blender. Blend for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Turn machine off and scrape down sides of bowl using a rubber spatula.
Add almond milk and continue to blend for an additional 2 minutes. Spoon the mousse into an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Be sure to use ripe avocados. You want soft (and dark-colored) avocados that will blend well. To speed up the process, place them in a paper bag for a day or two.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking. If this is the first time you are using avocados in a dessert, you may want to make it a bit sweeter. You could add a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey to make it to your liking.
