Ingredients
- Avocados– Avocados are a great source of heart-healthy fats, and various vitamins and minerals, and is the star ingredient in this mousse, providing a rich, smooth consistency without the need for dairy.
- Maple syrup– Maple syrup works so well as a sweetner in this as it has a caramel-like flavour which complements the chocolate.
- Cocoa powder-Using high-quality, unsweetened cocoa powder ensures that the mousse has a deep, true chocolate flavour
- Plant-based milk– helps achieve the mousse’s smooth and creamy consistency. Almond, oat or soy milks all work well
- Coconut cream– adds to the creamy, velvety texture this mousse.If you don’t have coconut cream, you can use full-fat coconut milk and use less plant-based milk
- Vanilla essence-A splash of vanilla extract adds a warm, aromatic sweetness.
- Optional toppings– Grated dark chocolate, oat or soy cream, berries such as raspberries or strawberries for extra indulgence!
