Description

Discover a dessert that revolutionizes the concept of sweets on a diet! This velvety chocolate mousse is proof that healthy can be incredibly delicious. Its secret is creamy avocado, which replaces butter and cream, providing healthy monounsaturated fats and giving the dessert an extraordinary smoothness. The natural sweetness comes from a ripe banana, rich in potassium, while the depth of flavor is enhanced by raw cocoa, a true treasure trove of magnesium and antioxidants. This dessert is 100% vegan, gluten-free, and free of added white sugar. Its preparation takes just a few minutes, and the final result delights both in taste and elegant appearance. Perfect as an afternoon snack, a light dessert after dinner, or a healthy treat for kids. Serve it chilled, garnished with fresh fruits, to create a composition that satisfies chocolate cravings without any guilt.

Preparation steps

1

First, prepare the fruits that are the base of our mousse. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, rotating the knife around the pit. Twist both halves in opposite directions to separate them. Insert the knife blade into the pit and gently remove it. Scoop out the flesh with a large spoon, trying to get as close to the skin as possible. Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces.

Ingredients: Awokado hass, Banana
Use very ripe fruits! The avocado should be soft to the touch, and the banana should have brown spots on the skin. This is the key to achieving a perfectly creamy consistency and natural sweetness without the taste of raw avocado.
2

In a blender jar or food processor bowl, place all the base ingredients: scooped avocado flesh, broken banana, sifted cocoa powder (to avoid lumps), maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Ingredients: Awokado hass, Banana, Raw cocoa powder, Maple syrup, Vanilla extract, Salt
It's best to use a high-speed blender or a food processor with an 'S' blade. This will ensure a perfectly smooth mixture. If you don't have a sieve, try to break up the cocoa lumps thoroughly with a fork before adding them to the other ingredients.
3

Start blending on low speed, then gradually increase to maximum speed. Blend for about 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are perfectly combined and the mixture becomes smooth, uniform, and shiny. During blending, take one or two breaks to scrape down the mixture from the sides of the container with a silicone spatula. This will ensure that all ingredients are evenly mixed.

Ingredients: Plant-based milk
Patience is key! Don't stop blending too early. The mixture is ready when there are absolutely no lumps of avocado or banana visible, and the consistency resembles thick pudding. If the mixture is too thick, this is the moment to add an optional tablespoon or two of plant-based milk.
4

Once you achieve a perfectly smooth consistency, taste the mousse. Use a clean teaspoon to assess the flavor. If you prefer sweeter desserts, you can add a little more maple syrup and briefly blend everything to combine the ingredients. The flavor of the mousse will continue to develop while cooling.

Ingredients: Maple syrup
Remember that the perception of sweetness is individual. The flavor you taste now will be slightly more intense and chocolatey after cooling. Don't overdo it with additional sweetener at this stage.
5

Transfer the finished mousse evenly into 4 small bowls, glasses, or dessert cups. Smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Place the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling will cause the mousse to thicken slightly, and the flavors will meld, becoming deeper and more pronounced.

To prevent a 'skin' from forming on the surface of the mousse, you can cover each bowl with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the surface of the dessert directly. This will prevent oxidation and color change.
6

Just before serving, take the mousse out of the fridge. Decorate it as you wish. You can use fresh raspberries, which will add color and a tangy flavor, sprinkle with chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or grated dark chocolate. Serve immediately when it is pleasantly chilled.

Ingredients: Fresh raspberries
Creativity in decoration is welcome! Fresh mint leaves, a pinch of cinnamon or chili for the brave, and even a dollop of coconut yogurt go great here.

Fun Fact

💡

Avocado, although commonly regarded as a vegetable, is botanically a fruit, specifically a large berry with a single seed. Its creamy texture makes it an ideal, healthy substitute for butter in many vegan desserts.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

To give the dessert a more sophisticated look, serve it in small, transparent glasses or martini glasses. You can create layers by alternating the mousse with crushed nuts or granola. Before serving, lightly dust with cocoa using a small sieve.

🥡 Storage

Mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To prevent the surface from darkening (oxidation), cover it with plastic wrap so that it touches the mousse directly. The flavor is best on the second day when all the aromas have fully combined.
