Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup coconut cream
- 4 dates (pitted)
- 0.125 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Instructions
Start by soaking the pitted dates in warm water for about 10 minutes. This will soften them, making them easier to blend into the mousse.
While the dates are soaking, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender.
Drain the soaked dates and add them to the food processor along with the unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, coconut cream, sea salt, and fresh lime juice.
Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor a couple of times to ensure everything is well-mixed.
Taste the mousse and adjust the flavor if necessary, adding more lime juice for tanginess or a pinch more salt to enhance the taste.
Once fully blended and smooth, transfer the avocado mousse into individual serving bowls or ramekins.
Refrigerate the mousse for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set and the flavors to meld together.
Serve the mousse chilled, garnished with your choice of toppings such as shredded coconut, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, ensuring these are Whole30 compliant.
