Vegan Avocado Chocolate Mousse with Lavender

Ideal for people who keep a Dairy-free, Gluten-free, Vegan, Paleo, Refined sugar-free and mostly Healthy diets.

Dessert for breakfast, anyone? Whenever I have a little more time in the mornings and few not-so-good-looking avocados I'll make a quick vegan chocolate mousse.

Before you start judging me, let me tell you, my breakfast is usually very different - something like a large bowl of porridge, pancakes, or a delicious savory Breakfast Strata or Frittata.

But occasionally I'll be craving something sweet AND healthy. And I think this dessert/breakfast recipe totally nailed it! What do you think, would you have it for breakfast?

I also tried different versions of it, read below about the variations of this mousse.

Ingredients

Typically a classical mousse will be made of egg whites, whipped cream and paired with chocolate, caramel, fruit, or other flavors. But this is not the case obviously as we are going to make a VEGAN chocolate mousse, and as with anything homemade vegan, we are going to use raw vegan ingredients and whip up the mousse in a matter of minutes.

Even though this vegan chocolate mousse texture is creamy and light, and isn’t firm as a traditional mousse, it still tastes very good, if not better! Plus it's VEGAN!

Instructions

Halve and pit the avocados, and scoop them into a food processor or blender.

Add about 5 tablespoons of milk, other ingredients, except dried lavender, and blend until very smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed. (Don't pour the milk at once, add it little by little as needed).

Taste if enough sweetness, add more agave syrup if needed.

Spoon into glasses and decorate with dried lavender. Vegan chocolate avocado mousse is ready for serving!

For a thicker consistency refrigerate overnight until well chilled.

Tips and Variations

I've made this vegan mousse in three versions:

Only with avocado as a base - raw, wholesome, natural, and utterly decadent taste!

Using only 5 avocados and 1 banana - the mousse will have a sweeter taste due to the banana.

Using only vanilla extract (means without lavender extract) - more cleaner and lighter taste, and very delish!

Serving Suggestions

Fresh berries for serving (YUM!) - raspberries, strawberries, blueberries

To top up - Whipped cream or coconut cream

With white or dark chocolate shavings

Pair the chocolate mousse with plain biscuits, just spread a spoonful on top of the biscuit/cookie and enjoy!

FAQ

After blending all the ingredients you can serve it right away, but for better resultS, refrigerate it for few hours, especially if you used room temperature avocados. Keeping it in the fridge helps to preserve the light, fluffy texture of the mousse.

Can you leave chocolate mousse overnight?

Keep this mousse refrigerated and in an airtight container, but no more than 2-3 days. You can also freeze it for up to a month.
