Made with just 4 main ingredients, this Avocado Chocolate Mousse is smooth, fluffy and velvety and so decadent! Enjoy this 5 min vegan dessert that is made without any refined sugar!
The first time I tried avocado, I assumed it's just for the savory dishes. When I was making this avocado chocolate mousse, my husband's reaction was the same. He thought I made a dessert by mistake. Who won't love the chocolaty flavors and nutrition both packed in a simple dessert?
What I loved most about this recipe is that it's taste just like a dark chocolate. I have used maple syrup and unsweetened cocoa powder and no refined sugar. This is by far the most easy and simple dessert to make. Plus, there's no cooking involved-just blend everything and chill. It's a straightforward recipe that's perfect for anyone who is looking for a quick dessert.

Ingredients
See the recipe card for the exact ratio of ingredients.
- Avocado: Provides a creamy base and rich texture, making the mousse smooth without any dairy. Use ripe Hass avocados. They have a rich, buttery texture and a mild flavor that blends seamlessly with cocoa, creating a smooth and creamy mousse. Ensure the avocados are soft but not overripe to avoid any bitterness.
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Adds deep chocolate flavor. This is going to taste like a dark chocolate. But if you like sweet flavor, I suggest using sweetened cocoa powder or dairy free sweet chocolate.
- Soy Milk: Adds perfect moisture for binding the other ingredients into a smooth texture. Use any vegan milk of your choice.
- Maple Syrup: Naturally sweetens the mousse without refined sugars.
- Pumpkin Seeds: I have blended the pumpkin seeds. You may adds them at the top for crunchy topping.
