Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado about 236 grams
- 2 tablespoons organic cocoa or cacao powder 15 grams
- ¾ cup unsalted creamy peanut butter 175 grams
- ¼ cup unsweetened coconut yogurt 55 grams
- ¼ cup powdered Monk fruit sweetener 40 grams
- Berries, peanuts, coconut shreds, mint leaves for garnish as desired
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except for the garnishes in a high-speed blender.1 large ripe avocado, 2 tablespoons organic cocoa or cacao powder, ¾ cup unsalted creamy peanut butter, ¼ cup unsweetened coconut yogurt, ¼ cup powdered Monk fruit sweetener
- Blend until smooth, and everything is combined into a creamy chocolatey peanut butter mousse or pudding-like consistency.
- Fill up a piping bag. You can also use a ziplock bag—see note.
- At this point, you can chill the mousse until ready to serve.
- Or immediately fill up 6 to 8 mini glasses.
- Garnish with fresh berries, crunchy peanuts, coconut shreds, or mint leaves as desired. Enjoy!
- Best when enjoyed on the same day, but it will keep in the fridge for up to a few days! When refrigerated, the consistency will be thicker and the mousse richer.
Notes
Equipment: Instead of a pastry or piping bag, you can also use a ziplock bag and cut a small opening at one of the ends to layer the peanut butter chocolate avocado mousse for better presentation if serving guests.
Additional topping: Add coconut whip cream for an extra layer of creaminess (optional).
Serving suggestion: About ¼ cup max per serving is all you need because it's so rich and satisfying. It can easily create 6 to 8 mini desserts. Berries add a nice refreshing element to the mousse and are highly recommended. You can also use pineapple and peaches.
Sweetener: I use powdered Monkfruit sugar, which is immediately incorporated well into the peanut butter mixture upon blending.
Storage: This chocolate vegan peanut butter mousse is best enjoyed on the same day.
However, you can make it ahead and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just know that texture-wise, it will thicken in the fridge and go from creamy mousse to a heavier chocolate peanut butter pudding—still good but slightly different. Always stir before serving after storage.
