Combine chocolate and avocado to create a decadent mousse sweetened with natural flavors!

Instead of whipping up egg whites or melting chocolate in a double boiler, this recipe only requires a simple food processor, a handful of ingredients, and three simple steps to get started.

The hardest part is waiting for the mousse to chill inside the fridge for at least two hours to set. This time allows the mousse to fully thicken and achieve its chocolatey potential.

Combine chocolate and avocado together to create a decadent mousse sweetened with natural flavors. Healthy enough for breakfast and sweet enough for dessert.

To achieve a creamy whipped texture, we add a healthy dose of avocados to easily blend in with the raw cacao and bananas. Along with being rich in fatty acids, avocados also have the power of boosting extra antioxidants and key vitamins to help keep you feeling satiated.

Adding a bit of honey and vanilla will help counterbalance the bitterness of the cacao, while the coconut cream helps to thicken and flavor the mousse as it chills. When ready to serve, you can top your mousse with fresh raspberries or garnish with additional cacao nibs, toasted coconut, or chopped nuts.

Tip: If you’re not a fan of honey, you can also sub in an equal amount of maple syrup instead.
