This 10-minute easy and healthy chocolate avocado mousse is so creamy and delicious that it’s actually hard to believe avocados in this recipe. It is vegan, paleo, gluten-free, and you can also make a low-carb or keto avocado chocolate pudding version.
Avocados are loaded with mono-saturated fatty acids, which are good for a healthy heart. Besides, avocados are rich in potassium, fiber, antioxidants, and many vitamins like B, K, C, and E.
Ingredients
- Avocado: For the smoother avocado mousse, use ripened avocados. But some people also experience a stronger avocado flavor in this pudding by using ripened avocados.
- Cocoa Powder: I have used unsweetened cocoa powder. Always use good quality cocoa or cacao powder for the dessert.
- Melted Chocolate chips: I have used sugar-free chocolate chips, but I can also use Unsweetened Baking Chocolate Bar. If you are not on Keto, then use semi-sweetened chocolate chips. Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe container and microwave till they melt. If you can't find chocolate chips, then replace them with the same quantity of regular cocoa powder.
- Milk: I have used unsweetened almond milk for a vegan version of avocado chocolate mousse. You can also use coconut milk or dairy milk.
- Sweetener: I have used Maple syrup, but you can also add honey (if non-vegan), powdered sugar, or stevia (for Keto).
- Vanilla extract: I have used pure natural vanilla extract.
Keto-Friendly Avocado Chocolate Mousse
- Use Unsweetened Almond milk or coconut milk if you are making low-carb/keto avocado chocolate mousse.
- Try using sugar-free chocolate chips or an unsweetened baking chocolate bar.
- For sweeteners, try using Stevia or Erythritol.

How to Make Avocado Chocolate Mousse
Place avocado flesh, cocoa powder, melted chocolate chips, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor.
Puree until completely smooth. The mixture will be thick and mousse-like. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
Serve this healthy avocado mousse in dessert cups and top with either fresh strawberries or chocolate flakes.
It’s even better if you refrigerate it for an hour before eating. So good!

I just made this after having a craving for some chocolate. I've made 'avocado mousse' before, and this is by far the creamiest and most delicious. Thank you! *note: I didn't have chocolate chips, so I doubled the cacao powder and added a bit of pure monk fruit extract*
