Instructions
Prepare the Avocados
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or high-powered blender. Make sure your avocados are ripe for the creamiest texture.
💡 Tip: Ripe avocados should yield slightly to gentle pressure. If they’re too firm, let them ripen at room temperature for a day or two.
Add the Ingredients
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, sweetener, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the food processor with the avocados.
💡 Tip: Use high-quality Dutch-process cocoa for a richer, deeper chocolate flavor.
Blend Until Smooth
Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times to make sure everything is incorporated. The texture should be silky and uniform.
💡 Tip: If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon more almond milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Everyone’s preference is different, so feel free to add more sweetener if you like it sweeter.
💡 Tip: A tiny pinch more salt can also enhance the chocolate flavor!
Chill
Divide the mousse into four small serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to chill and firm up. This step is essential for the best texture.
💡 Tip: Cover with plastic wrap touching the surface to prevent browning.
Serve and Enjoy
Before serving, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings. Add fresh mint leaves for an elegant presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy this guilt-free indulgence!
💡 Tip: Use sugar-free whipped cream to keep this dessert completely keto-friendly.
🩺 Diabetes Management Tips
Why This Recipe Works
With only 6g net carbs per serving and zero added sugar, this dessert satisfies chocolate cravings without causing blood sugar spikes. The healthy fats from avocado help slow digestion and provide sustained energy.
Healthy Fat Benefits
Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, which have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. They also provide fiber, potassium, and essential vitamins.
Smart Substitutions
Use coconut cream instead of dairy whipped cream for a dairy-free version. Try adding a tablespoon of almond butter for extra protein. Swap almond milk for coconut milk for a richer flavor.
Antioxidant Power
Unsweetened cocoa powder is loaded with flavonoids and antioxidants that support heart health and may help improve blood flow. Choose dark cocoa for maximum benefits.
📦 Storage & Leftovers
Store leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning. The mousse may darken slightly over time due to the avocado, but this doesn’t affect the taste. For best results, add toppings just before serving. This mousse does not freeze well due to the avocado content.
