Ingredients
2 ripe avocados, pitted
3 tablespoon unsweetened cacao powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1½ tablespoon coconut nectar, or to taste
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoon almond milk, or as needed for consistency
Directions
Place the pitted avocados, cacao powder, cinnamon, coconut nectar, and vanilla extract into a food processor.
Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, pausing every 1-2 minutes to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add almond milk one tablespoon at a time, blending briefly after each addition, until you reach your desired mousse consistency—thick and spoonable or lighter and more airy.
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more coconut nectar if desired, then blend once more to combine.
Divide mousse between serving dishes and enjoy immediately for a chilled texture, or cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to allow the mousse to fully set before serving.
Comments
Every ingredient is easily found at Harris Teeter or Walmart; no special stops needed. At roughly $3–4 per serving, it's affordable and driven mostly by the avocado and cacao powder. The 15-minute claim is honest—just blending requires no real cooking—but assumes you have an avocado ready to use. This is a rich, fussy dessert for two that does not reheat well and demands same-night eating, so plan accordingly for a weeknight treat rather than a meal with leftovers.
