each

pinches
1. Blend Ingredients
Place the avocado chunks, room temperature cream cheese, Swerve sweetener, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of pink salt into a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is velvety and uniform, with no visible chunks of avocado or cream cheese.
2. Pour into Bowls
Pour the smooth mixture evenly into two small dessert bowls.
3. Chill
Place the bowls in the refrigerator and let them chill for about 30 minutes before serving.
Once you've mastered the basic mousse, try chilling it until it's firm enough to roll into balls. Coat these in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or toasted coconut for delightful truffles.
Mix in some cooled, brewed espresso or coffee liqueur to the core recipe for a mocha-flavored version that's sure to delight coffee lovers.
Use the mousse as a filling for a pre-baked tart shell. Top with fresh berries or a sprinkle of sea salt for a sophisticated dessert that's as beautiful as it is delicious.
Before serving, swirl in some raspberry or strawberry puree. The acidity and sweetness of the berries will provide a delightful contrast to the creaminess of the avocado and the depth of the chocolate.
Incorporate a shot of espresso or a teaspoon of instant coffee to the blender. Coffee accentuates the flavor of chocolate and can give the dessert a sophisticated twist.
Select avocados that are just ripe for a creamy texture without off flavors.
Allow sufficient chilling time for flavors to meld and texture to firm up.
Opt for high-quality, preferably Dutch-processed cocoa powder for a richer taste.
Use a high-speed blender to aerate the mixture, achieving a lighter, mousse-like consistency.
Add a pinch of espresso powder or a splash of liqueur to deepen the chocolate flavor.
