As the evening winds down and you’re craving a rich yet guilt-free dessert, there’s nothing quite like a creamy chocolate mousse to hit the spot. But this isn’t your traditional mousse—it’s a health-conscious twist that combines the creamy texture of avocados with the indulgent flavour of dark chocolate and of course, you can't miss some protein.
Ingredients:
• 80g dark chocolate (preferably 70% cacao or higher for intense richness)
• 2 ripe avocados
• 20g cocoa powder (unsweetened, for that deep chocolatey kick)
• 20g Protein+ Chocolate Fudge
• Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Melt the chocolate:
Begin by gently melting the dark chocolate. You can use a double boiler or microwave in short 20-second intervals, stirring between each to prevent burning. Set it aside to cool slightly.
2. Prepare the avocado base:
Scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocados and place it in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy—this will be the base of your mousse, giving it its luscious texture.
3. Add the chocolate magic:
Pour the melted chocolate into the blender with the avocado puree. Add the cocoa powder, Protein+ Chocolate Fudge, and a pinch of salt. Blend until everything is fully incorporated, and the mixture is silky smooth.
4. Chill and serve:
Divide the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow it to set. For an added touch, garnish with fresh berries, a dollop of coconut yogurt, or a sprinkle of cacao nibs before serving.
Why This Mousse is different than a traditional Mousse
This isn’t just any dessert—it’s a nutrient-packed indulgence.
• Avocados: Rich in heart-healthy fats and vitamins, they create a creamy base without the need for heavy cream.
• Dark Chocolate: Packed with antioxidants and naturally lower in sugar than milk chocolate.
• Protein+ Chocolate Fudge: A clean, plant-based protein that not only boosts the protein content of this dessert but also enhances its chocolatey flavor.
• Low Sugar, High Flavour: By relying on natural ingredients, this mousse delivers decadence without the sugar crash.
