Jump to recipe

Ripe avocado and banana blend into a silky cocoa pudding with honey, vanilla and a little lemon to keep the flavor bright.

No cream or eggs are needed for Chocolate Avocado Mousse: ripe fruit supplies the body, and cocoa provides the dark chocolate flavor. Blending thoroughly turns the avocado completely smooth rather than leaving green flecks.

Use a ripe banana with a spotted peel and an avocado that yields gently when pressed. A hard avocado will not blend silky, and a green banana gives a starchy flavor that cocoa cannot hide.

Method

Peel banana and pit avocado. Place the fruit in a food processor with cocoa powder, honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, water and salt.
Blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape the sides and underside of the blade so no avocado pieces remain.
Divide between two small glasses, cover and refrigerate for until cool and slightly thicker.

Forkue tips

For a vegan version, replace the honey with maple syrup.

Storing and reheating

Cover the surface directly and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Stir before serving; freezing changes the smooth texture and is not recommended.
