This Raw Chocolate Avocado Mousse is quick and easy-to-make, raw, dairy-free chocolate pudding made with clean healthy ingredients.
I am introducing a guilt-free dessert your entire family will love. Eat your heart out, Bill Cosby! This dessert isn’t your childhood chocolate pudding filled with artificial ingredients and jam-packed with preservatives. Yikes! Why do you think that creamy treat we all loved as kids have such a long shelf life? Actually, when I was a kid, it didn’t last long enough to need a shelf life, but that’s beside the point. Well thankfully things have changed, and I’m here to tell you, so has pudding!
By now you may have seen a dozen different versions of the avocado chocolate pudding trend on the internet or in your favorite raw food cookbook, but they aren’t mine. I’ve spent some time in the kitchen, changing, tweaking, adding, and subtracting ingredients to find a scrumptious balance of lightly sweet and creamy chocolate that I think it just perfect for a dairy-free dessert. The secret to making this recipe even better is letting it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set before eating it. Yes, I’ll admit, it may be hard not to eat right away, but I promise it will be worth your wait!
