Ingredients

Healthy Avocado Chocolate Mousse (Method 1)

  • 4 ounces (approximately 1/2 cup) semisweet chocolate chips, such as Glicks, or premium Dutch-processed cocoa powder

  • 2 large avocados, pitted and peeled

  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, such as Gefen (can be Dutch-processed)

  • 1/4 cup Gefen Almond Milk (or other milk of your choice)

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1-3 teaspoons agave nectar or maple syrup (optional)

Even Healthier (and Easier) Avocado Chocolate Mousse (Method 2)

  • 2 large, ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup good-quality cocoa powder, such as Gefen

  • 4 tablespoons Gefen Honey or 4 softened dates (see notes)

Directions

Prepare the Healthy Avocado Chocolate Mousse

1.

Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt it in the microwave for 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. (If using cocoa instead, no need to melt. Simply add it along with the additional cocoa and other ingredients to the blended avocado in step 3.)

2.

Place the avocados in a food processor and blend until smooth.

3.

Add the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, almond milk, vanilla extract, kosher salt, and agave or maple syrup, if using. Blend until smooth.

4.

Spoon into glasses and refrigerate for two hours or overnight.

Prepare the Even Healthier Avocado Chocolate Mousse

1.

Blend the avocado in the food processor until smooth.

2.

Add the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and honey/dates, and blend until completely combined.

3.

Taste and add more honey if necessary.

4.

Spoon into serving glasses and refrigerate for one hour.

5.

Top the chocolate mousse with whipped cream, chopped nuts, and/or fresh fruit to impress your guests. Or, savor a spoonful or two on the couch, one at the kitchen sink, five more in front of the fridge… It’s that good!

Notes:

Warm the honey in the microwave for a few seconds so it has a soft, runny consistency. Dip your measuring spoon into oil before spooning honey so the honey slides right off and none is left on the spoon.

Or, you can substitute one pitted date per tablespoon of honey. Soak the dates in hot water for at least three hours before using for the mousse.
