Avocado is so versatile as an ingredient, lots of things you can do with it, often don’t come easily to mind.
So take this recipe, for example. A superb, lavish mousse with avocado, chocolate, and hazelnuts.
It’s where you can mix’n’mingle, matching different culinary and cosmetic worlds, that this awesome super-fruit gives its best!
It’s vicious, creamy and yummy. Plus you can alter the chocolate and sweetness level according to your own tastes (like 1 tbsp cocoa powder for breakfast, 3 tbsp as a dessert in the evening, and things like that).
You can’t taste the avocado in the mousse, it just acts as a kind of creamy base on top of which you can add flavors. The banana adds a good chunk of sweetness, and the honey…oohh the honey, honey! 😉
Just takes it to the next level, dessert-wise. (If you are a dessert type, be sure to check out our last recipe here, too).
This Hazelnut Mocha Chocolate Mousse recipe it’s more health-conscious than usual – with low-free Greek yogurt and raw cacao powder.

This mousse has the addition of coffee too –we LOVE coffee. Coffee and chocolate together? This is a proof of the existence of God! You can also decrease the amount of caffeine to a decaf if you don’t well tolerate stimulants. Up to you. The taste is always delicious.
Chia puddings, matcha cookies, beetroot brownies? It probably wouldn’t hurt to try them 🙂
Healthy foods can and should be mixed with others, guilty-ish elements, so you can enjoy your optimal lifestyle without compromising on your food-porn addiction.

THE HAZELNUT MOCHA CHOCOLATE MOUSSE RECIPE:
- Place the avocados, banana, hazelnut milk, vanilla bean paste, raw cacao, espresso, and honey into a food processor. Then blend until smooth and creamy.
- Now, spoon or pipe the mixture into serving glasses. You can cover and chill at this point if making ahead.
- When ready to serve, top the mousse with the Greek yogurt, and sprinkle on the chopped hazelnuts. Trickle on the grated chocolate and serve immediately.
*The riper the banana and avocados are, the sweeter and creamier this dessert will be.
