Ingredients

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted (approx. 200g each)
¼ cup fresh lime juice (60ml)
1 Zest of lime
½ cup coconut cream (120ml)
¼ cup powdered erythritol (48g)
1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
Pinch of sea salt
1 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a blender or food processor, combine the peeled and pitted avocados, fresh lime juice, lime zest, coconut cream, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and there are no avocado chunks left.
Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness or tartness if necessary. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more coconut cream.
Divide the mousse evenly among four serving dishes.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set and develop the flavors.
Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut and additional lime zest if desired.

Notes

Ensure avocados are ripe for the best flavor and texture.

The erythritol can be substituted with any keto-friendly sweetener of your choice; adjust to taste.

The mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, making it a great make-ahead dessert.

For a nuttier flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of chopped pecans or almonds on top before serving.
