How to prepare Avocado chocolate mousse

To prepare the chocolate and avocado mousse, first cut the avocado in half 1 and remove the pit using a spoon 2, then extract the pulp (you will get about 8.5 oz) and put it in a blender 3.

Add the sugar 4 and blend until you get a smooth and lump-free cream 5. Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 900W for about 2 minutes, stirring it every 30 seconds 6 to prevent it from burning; alternatively, you can melt it using a double boiler or the bain marie method.

Combine the avocado cream with melted chocolate 7 and mix well with a spatula to blend everything 8, then transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped tip 9 and let it firm up in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.

After the resting time, fill 4 glasses with the chocolate and avocado mixture, then garnish with pistachio 10 and sliced almonds 11: your avocado chocolate mousse is ready to be served 12!

How to store

The avocado chocolate mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of 3 days. Freezing is not recommended.

Tips

If you love spicy notes, you can blend some freshly grated ginger together with avocado pulp and sugar... or dare with a pinch of chili pepper!
