Why I’m Obsessed with Vegan Chocolate Mousse
When someone first told me that chocolate mousse can be made from avocados, I was very doubtful. Still, I had to try it out for myself. After eating this, I must say it absolutely deserves its spot as one of my favourite desserts. If I want something indulgent but don’t want something heavy on dairy or refined sugar, then this is definitely the recipe I will be making.
The process of making it is pretty simple. Just put everything in a food processor, whizz until smooth, and chill it until it's used. This is one of those meals that will get everyone talking around the dinner table, and guess what? They’re shocked when they learn what’s inside.
What I especially enjoy about this mousse:
- Fast to make - under 10 minutes of prep time.
- Healthier than most traditional desserts, yet totally decadent.
- Garnishes like berries and mint take it to a whole new level of fancy.
If you have a few ripe avocados lying around and a craving for chocolate, this is the move. I’ve served it at gatherings, but I especially enjoy making a single batch just for myself after a long day. You get that sense of treating yourself right without any of the guilt.
If you haven’t tried vegan chocolate mousse yet, don’t wait any longer! You’ll never look at avocados the same way again.
