Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized ripe avocadoes approx. 270 g, peeled and cut into chunks
- 17 g unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
- 30 g + 1 tbsp plain cream cheese
- 8 g keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol
- 60 ml unsweetened almond drink
- 50 ml + 2 tbsp water
- a pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp strong coffee like espresso optional
Instructions
- Place the avocadoes, cream cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, almond drink and coffee into a blender or food processor. Add the water in small portions and check the consistency of the mousse step by step. Blend until smooth. You may need to add a slightly different amount of water compared to the one written in the recipe.
- Prepare the topping: using a small whisk, mix 1 tablespoon of cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of water. You can add some sweetener if you want.
- Place the mousse into a few small cups and add the topping (you can also add some leaves of fresh mint if you want).
- Store the mousse in a closed container in the fridge if you are not serving it immediately (it keeps well in the fridge for up to 24 hours).
Notes
- Keep this mousse plain if you prefer to have a strong flavour of chocolate or add some vanilla extract (approx. 1 teaspoon) or a bit of coffee (approx. 2 tablespoons of espresso coffee).
- The cream cheese frosting on top is optional but it makes a really great pair with the rich finish of this keto chocolate mousse.
