You'll be blown away by this keto creamy chocolate mousse!
It's so good that you simply won't be able to get enough of its decadent goodness. The creamy, rich chocolate is sure to hit the spot. Plus, it doesn't hurt that you can be enjoying this tasty treat in a matter of minutes! Who needs expensive dessert menus? It only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish to whip up this delicious dish in your very own kitchen. It's simple to make and even easier to enjoy. It doesn't get much better than that!
The hidden secret in this gem of a dessert is that it's actually filled with protein-infused avocado! This may come as a surprise, but rest assured that it only adds even more creaminess to this scrumptious dish. Avocado blends well with most recipes and this one is no different. It simply adds a layer of texture that you don't get with regular mousse recipes and it's full of minerals that help your body thrive. Trust us when we say, once you try avocado in your chocolate mousse–you're never going back! Plus, if you're trying to sneak in a little extra health food, what better way to do it? Even the pickiest eaters won't be able to resist this tasty combination. This chocolate mousse is a fantastic dessert to serve to your kids who refuse to eat vegetables or to adults at a fancy dinner party- it's such an all-purpose recipe!
While the avocado in the recipe makes this mousse nice and creamy, the cream cheese also adds to that silky texture. Cream cheese makes the mousse nice and smooth while also adding a nice tangy taste that compliments the rich chocolate perfectly. Cream cheese is also a favorite keto ingredient as it is low in carbs, naturally a little sweet and also has some beneficial fats that you need on a keto diet.
When looking for low carb chocolate desserts, unsweetened cocoa powder is key. Cocoa powder is very rich and actually quite healthy, loaded with antioxidants and nutrients. It is important to find the unsweetened cocoa powder so you don't get any unnecessary carbs in your mousse by accident. Unsweetened cocoa powder should be very easy to find in the baking aisle of your local grocery store. Buy extra as you will be using it a lot for keto baking!
One little trick about this low carb creamy avocado chocolate mousse recipe is that you can use the same recipe to make avocado chocolate pudding. Follow the recipe directions exactly the same except skip the heavy cream. When you make the recipe without folding in the whipped heavy cream, you will have a dense, decadent pudding. One recipe- two great desserts!
What's even more terrific about this yummy recipe is that it is the absolute best anytime dessert! This dish serves up beautifully so you can definitely showcase it at your next gathering. However, it's so easy to throw together that you can even enjoy it during a hectic week. Simple, delicious, healthy–how many desserts can include all of that? You need more recipes like this in your life!
