Magic Chocolate Mousse

Chef notes

This mousse is truly chocolate heaven, minus the refined sugar and dairy. The star ingredient, overripe bananas, sweetens the mousse because as bananas ripen, the natural sugars inside increase. Avocado creates the creamy, buttery texture, and cocoa powder ties it all together in a crave-worthy bow.

Technique tip: If you are waiting for your avocados to ripen, place them next to bananas to speed up the process. Bananas ripen by releasing ethylene gas, which accelerates the ripening process in avocados as well.

Swap option: Feel free to get creative with the toppings. Blueberries, walnuts, mini dark chocolate chips or flaked toasted coconut are all great options.

Special equipment: High-powered blender or food processor.
