Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup coconut cream
- 4 dates (pitted)
- 0.125 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the pitted dates in warm water for about 10 minutes. This will soften them, making them easier to blend into the mousse.
Step 2
While the dates are soaking, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender.
Step 3
Drain the soaked dates and add them to the food processor along with the unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, coconut cream, sea salt, and fresh lime juice.
Step 4
Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor a couple of times to ensure everything is well-mixed.
Step 5
Taste the mousse and adjust the flavor if necessary, adding more lime juice for tanginess or a pinch more salt to enhance the taste.
Step 6
Once fully blended and smooth, transfer the avocado mousse into individual serving bowls or ramekins.
Step 7
Refrigerate the mousse for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set and the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve the mousse chilled, garnished with your choice of toppings such as shredded coconut, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, ensuring these are Whole30 compliant.
