Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse


I usually relish avocado as is,but to get my kiddo eat Avocado,this mousse was the best disguise.My boy was totally clueless about avocados in all the luscious chocolaty goodness.
This wasn't exactly my first attempt to create a vegan mousse,the earlier experiment was a miserable flop,didn't ever want to combine chocolate with avocado.But when last week I bought these gorgeous bag of avocados on sale,in attempt to make avocados more appealing and kid friendly,I decided to give the choco-avo combo another go.This time I keep the cooking to minimum ,for Avocados tastes best when uncooked.The warmed up milk does the trick of melting the chocolate(kinda like truffles),rest is just blending and serving.To make this a healthy dessert or snack,can't stress enough to use the best quality dark chocolate,and keep low in sugar to get the most benefits of both avocado and cocoa.


Recipe : Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse
Ingredients
Makes 3 small ramekins full.

2 Ripe Avocados,cored and diced
3 ounce Dark chocolate(at least 60% cocoa),chopped
1 tablespoon Agave nectar or brown rice syrup or date syrup or any other natural sweetener.
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoon corn starch
3 tablespoon Almond milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract(alcohol-free)
Method

Warm the almond milk in small sauce pan and whisk in the corn starch.stir on low heat until thickens about 2 minutes.Turn off the heat.
Put the chocolate and cocoa in to a blender or vita-mix and process while pouring the warm thickened almond milk ,until smooth and creamy.When chocolate has completely melted add the avocados,vanilla,the agave nectar and blend some more until smooth and creamy.Transfer in serving bowls.chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Happy Holidays and Safe Travels to all my viewers!.I'll be back in a week :D

the truffles were just so delectable and this mousse looks out of this world....avocado in a mousse is something i need to try as the way i like my mousse is with ..ahem...raw eggs ...n i know it's disgusting to think about that...

if this one clicks with us i am going to stick with this recipe...i have to go find a ripe avocado here...not a common sight..

about the garlic plants , they need moderate light but indoor light n even electrical lighting can make them grow...the leaves may not be as green n strong but you'll get the garlic greens for sure....what i told you...grow some herbs , start with these if you like them..
mine is growing on a window sill , indirect sunlight..

Wow, the texture looks amazing! This is well worth a try :)
JKM said…
Sounds unusual...but I'm gonna try it :)
Yasmeen, thanks so much for posting this. I was really missing mousses and puddings lately, and looking for healthier alternatives. I tried the recipe and got two nice servings by using just one medium avocado and the amount of chocolate called for. There was one component to this recipe that I found extremely difficult--the part where you wait half and hour for the mousse to set ;-)
I just popped over from 5 Star Foodie's place ... and, wow, this looks incredible! I can't wait to try it.
Wow, gotta say the link you gave in the comments for Almond milk is my fave tho! Thanks for this!
