Instructions
- Make the coconut whipped cream if using: in a standing mixer, whisk together all ingredients (starting with 1 tablespoon of sweetener) for the coconut whipped cream until peaks form, about 2 minutes. Taste test and add more sweetener as desired, 1 teaspoon at a time. Place in the fridge to chill until ready to use.
- Combine all ingredients for avocado chocolate mousse in a food processor. Pulse until completely smooth.
- Spoon into desired serving bowls or glasses. Top with reserved coconut whipped cream if using, chopped chocolate, mint sprigs, and a cherry on top! Eat right away or chill for 10 to 20 minutes in the fridge for best resultsl
Notes
You can also use agave syrup or honey (not vegan).
Coconut cream is NOT the same as coconut milk or cream of coconut.
Alternatively, there are some store bought coconut whipped cream options that will also work! Or you could skip entirely and just enjoy the avocado chocolate mousse on its own.
