Chocolate Avocado Mousse
Could your children spot the hidden ingredient? The hidden avocados?
The only way I can get one of my boys to eat avocados is to make my chocolate avocado mousse.
Avocados are packed with fibre, vitamins E, C, B6, A, calcium, iron, magnesium, riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, folate, zinc, and potassium.
My daughter and younger son, however, love avocado salsa. Read that post about why avocados are such a powerhouse of nutrition.
Easy Chocolate Avocado Mousse
This easy chocolate avocado mousse can be made in 10 minutes.
If you are very sensitive to avocado flavours, my top tip is to refrigerate after making and it is best served on the day it is made.
How To Sweeten Your Healthy Chocolate Mousse
Remember to adjust the sweetener and vanilla to your taste. These two ingredients can really help overpower the avocado if you are not so much of a fan as we are.
if you are new here and are confused about which sweetener to use, I explain in my Ultimate Guide To Low-Carb Sweeteners, which I love and which I avoid.

I just made this and it is super good! mmmmm I am in chocolate heaven right now!
Kate
Thankyou!
Love this recipe and it is now a regular dessert for us. Many thanks. As you suggest, it is worth adjusting the ingredients to get it right for individual tastes and the avocado size is a factor. We add some cocoa nibs or blueberries or raspberries from the garden.

My only question: does anyone who has tried this recipe have working taste buds? This was quite literally the worst thing I've ever tasted. I'm disappointed and now also, broke, because of the ingredients I bought. Distraught is an understatement.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Hey thanks for the feedback, I'll get my tastebuds checked ?
Andrea
I realize Rayna's comment was unnecessarily blunt, but she's entitled to her opinion. Your response to her was childish, rude. and very unprofessional - not a good look on you at all as the blog owner. Everyone is entitled to their opinions about your recipes. Mocking those who express disappointment in one of your recipes is completely uncalled for. The ingredients for low carb desert recipes are often very expensive. Maybe try empathy next time.

Is there anything that can replace the sweetner as I am not fond of the aftertaste it leaves. I added sea salt which for me enhanced it.
Susanne Carey
I just made this for the first time and used swerve with some liquid stevia, no after taste when both are used. I did add a little more heavy cream and it turned out delicious and I am not fond of avocados at all.
Heather Staas
This is my new favorite way to eat avocado. I've made it three days in a row now, it's SO GOOD. A bit of instant espresso for a mocha flavor is excellent too.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Heather this is awesome!
Liz
I make this all the time. I use 1/4 cup whipping cream and 3/4 cup coconut milk. I add a pinch of salt, cayenne and today made it with about a 1/4 cup cold leftover coffee.
Elizabeth Boyce
Hi I love your recipes thank you. Besides finding this a little grainy it is delicious. Is it possible to leave out the almond meal?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
You could, although it is there for bulk and flavour. You could try almond flour which is a finer grade and might be less noticeable in the mousse.
Heather Staas
I used almond flour and it's pretty smooth and not very grainy at all
YUM
Lavonne
I found your site fairly recently and have started to go LCHF. It's been very informative. Wow.
My question for this recipe is, can you use coconut flour instead of the almond flour?
Thanks for all the helpful tips.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
I'm afraid not, they work in completely different ways. This is a great article to read - Ultimate Guide ToAlmond Flour vs Coconut Flour
Nini
Great idea! But I had to tweak it a little to mask out the avocado flavour:
1. Coconut milk! This made it 10 times better!!!
2. Pinch of cinnamon and salt
3. More cocoa powder and more sweetener (Stevia and Erythrit)
4. Almond butter.
Mmmmh.
Jean Breed
Cinnamon and salt and full fat coconut milk great idea!!!!!
Ann Patterson
I just made this but used a can of coconut cream instead of the double cream it is delicious. Thank you for the recipe.
Kendray Elizabeth Rodriguez
Has anyone tried this with Stevia drops as opposed to granulated sweetner?
Screamergirl
Is almond flour just crushed almonds?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Almond flour id a very fine version of group almonds, usually with the skins removed to make the flour cream and light. This article will help explain all the low carb flours. It is my Ultimate Guide To Low Carb Flours.
Screamergirl
Thank you
Look forward to trying it

I doubled the recipe and threw in a ripe banana...halved the Stevia. Very yummy.
Tiffany
This is an awesome recipe. It's just like a chocolate mousse, and the almond flour really adds a nice other texture to it, so you aren't thinking about eating cocoa powder on an avocado. 🙂 Sounds weird, tastes amazing.
Alisa Raley
Just found this recipe via Facebook and look forward to trying it. I'm wondering about th e amount of avocado, as i sometimes buy the large green ones and sometimes the small Haas. Thanks for all the great sharing!
Sharon
Can I use just full fat cream instead of the double cream? Tks
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
It's the same thing, here we call it double cream, others call it full fat or whipping cream.
Jo
How many carbs per serving?
Anne
What is double cream
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
You may call it heavy whipping cream.
Annette
I only added 1/2 a tsp of stevia as my first try was waaay to sweet, but I love it. I can have my chocolate guilt free and have something to look forward to after a day of teaching. It's a treat and a healthy snack in one 🙂 very welcome addition as I struggle a bit keeping myself fed on LCHF (which I'm quite new to), as I've just started working in 2 schools, which costs a lot of energy and I'm still breastfeeding (on top of broken nights).
