Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas (at least not green)
- 2 ripe avocados (peeled and pitted)
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings (optional)
- Whipped cream
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Blend: In a food processor or blender, combine the ripe bananas, peeled and pitted avocados, unsweetened cocoa powder, honey, and vanilla extract. Process the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Chill: Spoon the chocolate mousse evenly into 4 ramekins or small bowls. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to set and develop a firmer, more chilled texture. The colder the mousse, the better the flavor and consistency.
- Serve: Serve the mousse chilled, either plain or topped with your choice of whipped cream and fresh berries for an extra touch of elegance and flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe bananas and avocados for natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Adjust honey quantity based on your preferred sweetness level or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Ensure avocados are soft but not overripe to avoid a bitter taste.
- This mousse keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For a nutty twist, consider adding a tablespoon of almond butter before blending.
