Chef Jenn aims to create culinary joy without compromise. She believes in crafting recipes that marry delicious flavors with nourishing ingredients. This Chocolate Avocado Mousse is a splendid example of this philosophy—it's not just a dessert; it's a celebration of nature's incredible tastes. As we enjoy longer days and warmer nights, this mousse reminds us that treating yourself doesn't have to thwart your commitment to a healthier lifestyle. So, gather your ripe avocados, and let's whip up a batch of pure bliss that's as good for you as it is satisfying!
2 ripe, soft organic avocados
In Food processor, blend all ingredients until smooth and combined.
Add a little bit more dairy free milk if too thick.
Enjoy as is, or use to fill Chef Jenn Stoker’s Paleo Chocolate Cake layers. Note: If using this mousse to fill cake layers, a thicker mousse will work better to hold the weight of each layer.
To prepare your chocolate for melting: Chop the chocolate into small, uniform pieces.
Microwave Method: Use a glass or ceramic microwave-safe bowl to place your chocolate pieces in. Microwave in 30-second bursts, then stir thoroughly. Continue microwaving and stirring in short bursts until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Remember to stir evenly to distribute the heat and prevent clumping or burning.
Double Boiler Method: Place a few inches of water in a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Put the chopped chocolate into a heatproof bowl that fits snugly over the saucepan. Ensure the bowl doesn't touch the water; the steam will melt the chocolate. Stir the chocolate frequently until it's completely melted, smooth, and shiny. Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from the heat and continue stirring briefly.
Note: If the chocolate starts to seize (separate into clumps), you may need to add a small amount of oil or shortening to re-melt it.
