• It doesn't have the usual eggy texture.

Ingredients

• Avocados: For this recipe, you will need ripe avocados. Give the avocados a gentle squeeze to ensure they are ripe and ready to eat; they should give way when you squeeze them. Make sure the avocados are not too ripe, as they will be brown inside, and if they are unripe, they won’t form a creamy dip!
• Banana: Use fresh ripe bananas for this recipe.
• Cocoa powder: Use good-quality, unprocessed Dutch cocoa powder for the best flavor.
• Maple syrup: For sweetness. You can also use agave.
• Strawberries: Strawberries are optional for serving. They should be ripe and vibrant red. Avoid scarred or bruised strawberries. Wash the strawberries before serving them.

Tips and Substitutions

• Blending: Blend the mousse in a food processor. Stop blending every 3 minutes and scrape down the sides.
• Serving: Get creative and serve this delicious dessert with strawberries, mixed berries, whipped coconut cream or crushed almonds.
• Cocoa powder: Sift the cocoa powder to remove lumps.

How to Make Chocolate Avocado Mousse

1. Remove the skin and seeds from two avocados. Add the avocados, banana, cocoa powder and maple syrup to a food processor and blitz until smooth.
2. Scoop the chocolate mousse into a cup and leave to chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours. Serve with strawberries for a delicious dessert.
