Chocolate Avocado Mousse

Skeptics line up for this one: ripe avocados blend with cocoa and maple into a mousse so dark and silky nobody detects the vegetable. It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, and honestly faster than opening a pudding cup for four people.

Yield: 4 servings · Time: 10 min + chill

Ingredients

• 2 large ripe avocados
• 1/2 cup (45 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) maple syrup
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) almond milk
• 2 oz (55 g) dark chocolate, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Berries and flaky salt to serve

Directions

1. Blend everything until completely smooth, scraping down twice.
2. Taste — add maple for sweetness or almond milk for looseness.
3. Pipe or spoon into glasses and chill 1 hour.
4. Top with berries and a few flakes of salt.

Pro tip: The melted chocolate isn’t optional — it sets the mousse and buries any last hint of avocado.

Gluten-Free Notes

If you are cooking for someone with celiac disease, cross-contact matters as much as ingredients — clean surfaces, dedicated utensils, and certified or labeled gluten-free packaged goods are the safe path.
