    Avocado Caramel Chocolate Mousse

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    CIC_header

    Yes, you read that title right, avocado and caramel mixed with cocoa powder to create a delicious mousse that no one could resist! Avocado and caramel are the ingredients in this month's Crazy Ingredient Challenge hosted by Hungry Little Girl. I happen to LOVE avocado, but I never made anything like a dessert with it before. I thought about making a cheesecake, but I wanted something completely different. Oh, yeah, I never made a mousse before last night ( Sunday) either 🙂 This isn't a light, airy mousse, it's much denser, and very rich tasting, so it would be perfect for a special occasion.

    Ingredients

    • 3 ripe avocados
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • ½ cup caramel syrup plus a little extra to drizzle on top
    • sliced fruit of your choice: strawberries, blueberries, peaches, etc

    Instructions

    • Using a sharp knife, slice the avocados and remove the pits. Coarsely chop, if desired.
    • Put into a food processor and add the sugar, cocoa powder, and caramel syrup. Process for a few minutes, then turn off the food processor, scrap down the sides of the bowl with a spoon, and chop up the avocados a bit with the spoon if necessary. Continue to process for a few more minutes, stopping every two minutes or so to scrape the sides of the bowl. Process until the mixture is perfectly smooth, then transfer into dessert bowls.
    • Mixture will thicken with refrigeration. Top with sliced fruit if desired and drizzle with a little caramel syrup before serving.

      This recipe looks easy and delicious! I love that pairing. I've been wanting to make a pudding or mousse with avocado and chocolate for awhile. I think seeing your and Cindy's awesome dishes are making me do it right now!

      Call me crazy, but I have never made a mousse as of yet! This one might have to be on the menu! Love the fresh fruit with this mousse!

      Two avocado puddings/mousses? The universe is telling me to take this off my to-make list and make it immediately!
