Silky Chocolate Avocado Mousse - Keto and Low Carb
This chocolate dreamy mousse has a secret ingredient that is super healthy... avocado! That's right, and you cannot even taste it, under all that chocolatey goodness!
Ingredients
- 2 avocados just ripe
- 1/2 cup coconut cream see notes
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon swerve confectioners see notes
- 1/8 teaspoon coffee extract
- Pinch of salt
Preparation
- Cut open your avocado, remove the pits and spoon out into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse for a minute or so, just to break them up a bit. Then add in the heavy cream, coconut cream, vanilla and coffee extracts. Pulse for 2 minutes, or until well combined.
- Add in the unsweetened cocoa powder, salt and swerve confectioners and continue blending. Be sure to scrape down the sides, so that all of the avocado is well incorporated.
- Once the mousse is silky smooth, it is ready to serve! Sprinkle with Lily's dark chocolate shavings or whipped cream. Or if you want to get fancy, add to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe into a bowl.
Notes
The coconut cream is the thick solid cream that you get when you refrigerate a can of full fat unsweetened coconut milk over night. The cream rises to the top and solidifies, this is what you want, discard the water.
The amount of sweetness in this recipe, is perfect for me. Most who haven't had sugar in a while do cannot tolerate super sweet desserts anymore. I am one of those people! If you want your mousse a little sweeter, add another tablespoon of swerve confectioners. I would make the recipe as is and taste it to see how you like it first.
