Description
A surprisingly rich, dairy-free, and keto-friendly mousse that comes together in 5 minutes using a food processor.
Ingredients
Mousse Base
- 320 g ripe avocado flesh (approx. 2 medium-large avocados)
- 8 tbsp 120g full-fat canned coconut cream (solid part only)
- 7 tbsp powdered allulose or monk fruit/erythritol blend
- 60 g approx. 10 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Flavor Accents
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- Optional Garnish: Toasted unsweetened coconut flakes or sugar-free dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the avocado flesh, coconut cream, and powdered sweetener. Secure the lid and blend on high for 1 minute, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, espresso powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt to the processor. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Blend again on high for 30-60 seconds, until the mousse is silky, thick, and no streaks of avocado remain.
- Divide the mousse evenly among 6 small serving glasses or ramekins. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
- Just before serving, top with toasted coconut flakes or chocolate shavings, if desired.

Friendly note for people with diabetes: This mousse is very low in net carbs (~4.5 g/serving) and uses nonnutritive sweeteners that are low-glycemic and recognized as safe by the FDA. The ADA Standards of Care support low-carbohydrate eating patterns for improving glycemia. If you’re caffeine-sensitive, the espresso can cause a brief rise in post-meal glucose—use decaf or omit it (evidence).
