No-Bake Chocolate Avocado Mousse | Healthy Dessert Recipe


No-Bake Chocolate Avocado Mousse

Craving something sweet but want to keep it healthy? This rich and creamy chocolate mousse is your answer. Made with ripe avocados and natural sweeteners, it’s a dessert that feels indulgent but is packed with nutrients. Best of all, it requires zero baking and comes together in your blender in minutes.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 0 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe avocados, pitted and scooped
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, chopped nuts, coconut flakes, cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. Combine. Add the avocado flesh, maple syrup, cocoa powder, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt to a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Blend. Process the mixture on high until completely smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed. This may take 1-2 minutes.
  3. Taste. Pause and taste the mousse. If you prefer it sweeter, add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup and blend again.
  4. Chill. For the best texture, spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and flavors to meld.
  5. Serve. Top with your favorite healthy garnishes like fresh raspberries, sliced almonds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon just before serving.

Tips for Success

Use very ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and mildest flavor. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure.

If your mousse is too thick, add a teaspoon more of almond milk at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.

For a mocha version, add 1-2 teaspoons of instant espresso powder to the blender with the other ingredients.
