Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 ripe medium Hass avocados (17 ounces; 480 g), pitted and flesh scooped
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (2 1/4 ounces; 63 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or a pinch of table salt)

Flavor & Sweetener

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) oat milk
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) light agave syrup

Instructions

  1. Blend Avocados and Cocoa: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the scooped avocado flesh, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, and kosher salt. Pulse until the mixture starts to blend evenly.
  2. Scrape Bowl: Use a silicone spatula to scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl to ensure all ingredients are incorporated evenly.
  3. Add Flavor and Sweetener: Add the vanilla paste, oat milk, and light agave syrup to the processor bowl.
  4. Process Until Creamy: Blend all ingredients thoroughly for 3 to 4 minutes until the mousse achieves a smooth, creamy texture without any lumps.
  5. Serve or Chill: Transfer the mousse to serving dishes. You can serve it immediately for a soft texture or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to achieve a firmer consistency.

Notes

  • Ensure the avocados are ripe for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Dutch-processed cocoa powder is preferred for a smoother, less bitter chocolate flavor.
  • Chilling improves the mousse’s firmness but is optional depending on your texture preference.
  • This mousse is vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free.
  • You can substitute agave syrup with maple syrup if preferred.
