Instructions
-
Prepare the Avocado: Start by slicing the avocado in half and removing the pit. Scoop out the flesh, which should yield around 240g, and place it into a food processor or blender.
-
Add Sugar: Sprinkle the sugar over the avocado flesh in the processor. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
-
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate. Place it in the microwave at 900W for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds to ensure it doesn’t burn. Once fully melted, remove the chocolate from the microwave.
-
Combine the Mixtures: Pour the smooth avocado cream into the melted chocolate, mixing them together until thoroughly combined.
-
Pipe the Mousse: Transfer the chocolate and avocado mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle. This will give your mousse a beautiful, textured presentation.
-
Assemble the Dessert: Spoon the mousse into 4 small glasses or dessert cups, each with a capacity of around 100g.
-
Garnish: Finish off by sprinkling pistachio granules and a few slivers of almonds on top of each serving to add a delightful crunch.
-
Chill and Serve: Let the mousse rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour to firm up. Serve chilled and enjoy a healthy, yet indulgent dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.
This dessert combines the richness of dark chocolate with the creamy goodness of avocado, offering a delightful way to enjoy both flavors. The pistachio and almond garnish adds a nutty texture, elevating the mousse to a whole new level. A great choice for those who want a sweet treat with a bit of healthy flair!
