Dessert doesn’t have to mean compromise. This Dark Chocolate Avocado Mousse is proof that you can enjoy something deeply indulgent and still feel good about it. Made with ripe avocados, rich dark chocolate, and naturally sweetened, it’s velvety smooth, intensely chocolatey, and packed with healthy fats. Ready in minutes and perfect for dinner parties, date night, or a luxurious solo treat. If you want to treat yourself to an extra fancy dessert, ready in less than 10 minutes that will satisfy your sweet tooth, a mousse is the perfect dessert. Make it even more healthy by using Avocado as the main best ingredient because this mousse is dairy free, gluten free and refined sugar free.
A mousse is a soft prepared food that usually incorporates air bubbles to give it a light airy texture that ranges from light and fluffy to creamy and thick. You can choose to have a sweet mousse made with whipped cream and egg whites or both; or a savoury mousse made from meat, fish, foie gras, shell fish, vegetables and even cheese. Flavourings for mousses range from pureed fruits, coffee, herbs, spices and even caramel. Mousses are normally chilled before serving to give them a dense texture that's rich like truffles. A mousse is usually served as a dessert or used as an airy cake filling. My #AvocadoAugust mousse recipe is perfect and so easy to whip up! And much more delicious to devour!
