Is avocado and cocoa mousse actually good? Do you really not taste the avocado?

I promise, you can’t taste the avocado in this recipe! My two avocado haters will confirm this for you – it just tastes like chocolatey goodness with no strong avocado flavor.

Is chocolate mousse with avocados keto?

Not quite. The maple syrup in this recipe keeps it from being fully keto. You could try an alternate sweetener instead to make this a keto chocolate mousse.

How do you tell if an avocado is ripe?

There are probably a million different ways to know if an avocado is ripe. I use the color and squeeze test: look for dark green avocados that give just a little when you squeeze them gently. This method gives me avocados that are ready to be eaten AND will last 1-2 days on the counter.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a food processor or blender (this is the blender I have), combine all the ingredients except the dark chocolate.
In a small bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave on high for 20 seconds. Stir well. If the chocolate isn’t entirely melted, place it back in the microwave for 5 seconds and stir well.
Add the melted chocolate to the other ingredients and process or blend on high for about 15-20 seconds.
Divide the mousse evenly between 8 small glass jars or small bowls. You can enjoy right away, or chill for an hour. top with your choice of fresh fruit!

Notes

Store the avocado chocolate mousse in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Either use jars with lids or place a layer of plastic wrap gently pressed onto the top of the mousse. After 2 days, the cocoa avocado mousse can start to taste off and lose it’s chocolate flavor, so try to eat it before then (that’s never been a problem at our house!).
