Coconut Whipped Cream, recipe follows, for garnish, optional
1 can coconut milk, refrigerated overnight until well chilled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar or sweetener of choice, to taste

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine the avocado, cocoa powder, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Blend on medium until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender often. Increase the speed to high and blend about 30 seconds to lighten the mousse.
  • Spoon into 2 serving glasses or cups. If you have the time, chill in the refrigerator until cold, about an hour. If not, enjoy right away with the toppings of your choice and garnish with Coconut Whipped Cream if desired.
  • Remove the can of coconut milk from the refrigerator without shaking it. Open the can, scrape out the solidified coconut cream from the top and put it in a mixing bowl. (Save the liquid in the bottom of the can for a smoothie.) Whip the coconut cream with an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar or other sweetener to taste. Whip again and serve.

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     dessert

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup almond milk
1 cup grated Mexican chocolate
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons agave nectar
1 teaspoon ground chile de arbol
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 ripe but firm avocados, halved, pitted and peeled
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup agave nectar
1 tablespoon mezcal

Steps:

  • For the mousse: Gently warm the almond milk in a small saucepan. Add the chocolate and cook, stirring, until melted. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • In a blender, add the cocoa powder, agave, chile de arbol, vanilla, salt and avocados, and puree until silky smooth. With the motor on low speed, slowly add the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into a large bowl or individual glasses or ramekins, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • For the whipped cream: Meanwhile, add the cream and agave to a large mixing bowl and whisk until lightly thickened and holding soft peaks. Mix in the mezcal and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Serve the mousse with dollops of the whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and richer your mousse will be.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the mousse. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the mousse: Overmixing will make the mousse grainy. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the mousse before serving: Chilling the mousse will help it set and make it easier to pipe.
  • Garnish the mousse with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

Chocolate avocado mousse is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special dinner party. With its creamy texture and rich chocolate flavor, this mousse is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
