Ingredients

1 Banana
3 tbsp Cacao
1 Avocado
2 tblsp Honey
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Vanilla
2 tbsp Water
pinch Sea Salt

Instructions

Peel and stone the avocado, then peel and roughly chop the banana. Place both into a blender or food processor.
Add the cacao powder, honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, water, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding a little more honey or a few drops of stevia.
Spoon the mousse into small glasses or dessert cups. Sprinkle with extra cacao powder or cacao nibs if desired.
Serve immediately, or chill for 20–30 minutes for a cooler, firmer dessert. If the banana was not frozen, chilling is recommended before serving.

Tips

Use very ripe, soft avocados to ensure a completely smooth, lump-free texture.
Use a high-powered blender or food processor and scrape down the sides frequently while mixing.
Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours; the flavor and texture improve significantly as it sets.

Variations

Mocha Mousse: Add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the blend for a deep coffee-chocolate flavor.
Orange Chocolate: Add a few drops of orange extract and some fresh orange zest for a bright contrast.

Storage

Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. The lemon juice or cocoa powder helps prevent the avocado from oxidizing (turning brown).
