Avocado dark chocolate mousse — Sweet moments, naturally.

Ingredients

2 very ripe avocados
½ cup bittersweet dark chocolate, melted
¼ cup cocoa powder
¼ cup almond milk

2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch sea salt
coconut whipped cream, for topping (optional)
strawberries, for topping (optional)

Directions

Blend the mousse.
Put the avocados, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, almond milk, vanilla, and salt in a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend for about 2 minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Chill until set.
Spoon the mousse into four bowls or jars. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour so it firms to a mousse-like texture.
Top and serve.
Serve cold, topped with coconut whipped cream and strawberries if you like.

Before you indulge

Use Miracle Berry

Discard any pit if necessary.

Good to know

Miraculin, the natural protein in miracle berry, can make sour foods like lemon taste sweet without adding sugar. For the best results, take 1–2 halves and follow the directions on your pack.
