Healthy Keto Dark Chocolate Mousse
It's not always easy to find delicious, healthy dessert recipes that are easy to make. But this dark chocolate mousse is a winner!
Using avocado as its base makes this Healthy Keto Avocado Chocolate Mousse creamy and decadent while also keeping it healthy and nourishing for your body. Avocados contain healthy fats that are completely cholesterol-free.
Avocados also contain nearly 20 vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients; and just one serving of this superfood offers 8% of the recommended daily fibre intake. Fibre provides a feeling of fullness and has also been found to potentially reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
But you won't be able to taste the avocado at all! The texture of the avocado thickens the mousse and gives it extra creaminess, but it tastes just like a rich chocolate mousse.
Why you will love this recipe:
- Quick and easy. You can make this mousse in just five minutes using a few simple ingredients. Quick prep time with very little mess to clean up.
- Good for you. This delicious vegan dessert is full of nourishing ingredients that are full of health benefits.
- Delicious! Even though this recipe is vegan and keto, it is still a decadent and tasty dessert that everyone will enjoy. It is creamy, full of rich chocolate flavor, and perfectly sweet.
