Ingredients
2 ripe avocados, pitted
100% cacao powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbs coconut nectar, or to taste
1 Tbs vanilla extract
3 Tbs unsweetened almond milk, as needed for consistency
Directions
Add the pitted avocados, cacao powder, cinnamon, coconut nectar, vanilla extract, and almond milk to a food processor.
Blend on medium speed until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl every 1-2 minutes to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste the mousse and add more coconut nectar if a sweeter flavor is desired. Blend briefly to combine.
Divide the mousse between serving bowls or glasses. Serve immediately for a lighter, airier texture, or refrigerate for 2-3 hours to allow the mousse to set into a firmer consistency.
Comments
Every ingredient is stocked at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, and Kroger—no special trips needed. At roughly $6–7 total for two servings, cost per serving lands around $3–3.50, driven mainly by the avocado and cacao powder; both are reasonable at Charlotte chains right now. The stated 15 minutes is honest if you already have ingredients prepped, though cutting and scooping the avocado adds a few minutes in real life—call it 18–20 minutes total. This is a light, fussy dessert that needs no reheating and no feeding a family of four, so it works best as an occasional treat for two rather than a weeknight staple.
