Ingredients

To make vegan avocado chocolate mousse, all you need is avocado, cocoa, sweetener, and some toppings. Here’s an overview of what I used to make the delish dessert:

Pomegranate juice and arils: I used these to add extra flavor and sweetness to the dessert. Bonus: Fruit doesn’t contain any added sugar.

Avocado: You’ll need the flesh of two ripe avocados for this recipe. They make the mousse extra creamy, without any cream!

Cocoa powder: Ta-dah! Here’s the key ingredient. Unsweetened cocoa powder makes mousse “chocolately,” doesn’t contain any added sugar, and is full of health-helping antioxidants.

Maple syrup: Just a little maple syrup adds natural sweetness.

Dark chocolate: Top off the chocolate mousse with a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate!
