Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
- 2 ripe avocados
- 3/4 cup coconut milk (plant-based), well-shaken
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Setting Agent
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and measure them carefully. Make sure your avocado is ripe for the creamiest texture, and your coconut milk is well-shaken to mix the cream thoroughly.
- Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine avocado, dark cocoa powder, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until smooth and silky, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
- Add Natural Gelling Agent: Stir in the natural gelling agent into the mixture, then return to the blender for a quick pulse or fold it in gently, depending on the gelling agent used. This step is essential to help the mousse set with the desired light, airy texture.
- Chill and Set: Transfer the mousse into serving bowls or ramekins. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This resting period allows the natural gelling agent to activate, resulting in that perfect fluffy consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, your chocolate mousse is ready to enjoy. Add your favorite garnishes or serve plain to savor the rich, velvety flavor.
Notes

- Measure ingredients precisely for balanced flavor.
- Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours to achieve ideal texture.
- Blend thoroughly to avoid lumps and ensure a silky base.
- Fold in any mix-ins gently to preserve fluffiness.
