4 Steps for Perfect Mousse

 

1. Use a Food Processor for Creamy Mousse

To achieve the perfect smooth and creamy texture, you’ll need a food processor. This step is key—especially when blending the avocados.

2. Make the Mousse

In the food processor, combine:

  • Avocados

  • Cocoa powder

  • Milk

  • Maple syrup

  • Coffee

  • Vanilla extract

  • A pinch of salt

Process until creamy and completely smooth. Then, add the melted coconut oil and blend again until well incorporated.

3. Prepare the Raspberry Swirl

In a small bowl, mash the fresh raspberries with a little maple syrup to balance their tartness. This swirl adds brightness and contrast to the rich mousse.

4. Layer and Assemble

In your favorite serving cups or bowls, layer the raspberry mixture at the bottom, followed by generous spoonfuls of the chocolate mocha mousse. You can repeat the layers if desired.

Top and Serve – Finish with a dollop of whipped cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free) and a few fresh raspberries on top.

Make-Ahead Tip

You can prepare the mousse up to a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Just add the whipped topping and raspberries right before serving.
