Why Vegan Mousse au Chocolat?
This vegan version not only offers an intense chocolate flavor but also valuable nutrients: dark chocolate provides antioxidants, avocado delivers healthy fats, and banana adds natural sweetness and a velvety texture. Plus, this recipe is refined sugar-free, gluten-free, and incredibly easy to make.
Ingredients
- 80 gram dark chocolate (vegan, at least 70% cocoa)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 ripe bananas
- 60 milliliter plant-based milk (e.g., oat, almond, or soy milk)
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- chopped nuts (fresh berries, or chocolate shavings for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Roughly chop the vegan chocolate and melt it gently in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Allow it to cool slightly while keeping it liquid.
- Add the avocado and banana to a blender or food processor. Pour in the plant-based milk and melted chocolate. Blend everything until smooth and creamy.
- Add the agave syrup (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract to the mixture. Blend again to ensure the sweetness is evenly distributed.
- Spoon the mousse into dessert glasses or small bowls. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set.
- Just before serving, garnish with chopped nuts, fresh berries, or chocolate shavings as desired. Serve and enjoy!
