When was the last time you enjoyed a delicious dessert without feeling a twinge of guilt? It’s probably been awhile. That will change today with this amazing Guilt-Free Healthy Chocolate Mousse.
This chocolate mousse recipe is going to blow your mind.
It’s sweet creamy chocolaty goodness rivals any chocolate dessert and you won’t believe just how healthy it is!
The other amazing thing about this Guilt-Free Healthy Chocolate Mousse? It takes less than 5 minutes to whip up. And there’s no chill time. All you have to do is throw a few things in a food processor, then you can dig in! So easy!
I bet you won’t guess what the ingredients are in this Guilt-Free Healthy Chocolate Mousse! (I never would have!)
I actually made this recipe by accident one day when I was experimenting with a new smoothie bowl recipe. Lucky for all of us, huh!?
Before I tell you what the ingredients are, I have to tell you that I served this to my husband and kids and even though at least 2 of them don’t like the “secret” ingredient in this guilt-free chocolate mousse, they all loved this Healthy Chocolate Mousse.
How to Make Guilt-Free Healthy Chocolate Mousse:
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 3 Tbsp cacao powder
- 2-4 Tbsp honey, depending on how sweet you like it
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp almond milk
, depending on how sweet you like it
Remove the seed and peel from the avocado.
Put all the ingredients in a food processor (this is the one I have)
Process until everything comes together…
…and scrape the sides.
Process for a few more seconds until your mousse is smooth and creamy with no chunks.
Spoon into small bowls and serve with fresh fruit – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.
Not a fan of avocado? I’ve served this dessert to people who don’t avocados and they never guessed what the key ingredient was!
Avocados are a great source of healthy fats and have “super food” status because they’re so good for you. This Healthy Chocolate Mousse recipe is a great way to get this super fruit into your diet in a delicious way!

Does anyone know the calories or other nutrition stats?
Erika says

Sarah says
Hi there, can you make this ahead of time and place in the fridge? How long after making it does it need to be eaten? Thankyou looks great…
Naznin Davdani says
Hi. I tried this recipe and love it but not sweet enough when i add the cocoa powder. Should I sweeten it more? Any ideas?
Erika says
Yes, you can add more sweetener. You can add a little more honey or try another option, like stevia. A couple drops of stevia (or more depending on how sweet you want it) should sweeten it nicely without changing the texture.
Malia says
Wow this recipe looks amazing! Just to confirm, I don’t have to refrigerate this mousse do I?
Thanks!
Erika says
You should refrigerate it.
Jess says
Is it possible to freeze this and have it as a soft serve?
Erika says
I’m not sure how well the avocado will freeze, but it wouldn’t hurt to try.
coral says
How long will this last for if kept in the fridge?
Cynthia says
Made this as a gluten free option for New Years Eve. I added extra honey but the dessert was not sweet. It was a hit and had to share the recipe. Definitely make it again as it is a fast delicious dessert that has no setting time.
Erika says
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Cynthia!
Emily says
Made this tonight, it was delicious! Will definitely be making this again.
Erika says
Yay, I love hearing this, Emily. 🙂
Lorraine says
Yum! One of my fave desserts!!! Excited to try this out 🙂 One question: can I use any type of milk? Thanks xx
Erika says
Yes, you can use any milk. It will probably alter the flavor, especially if you use something like coconut milk, but it shouldn’t affect the texture. Enjoy!
Freefika says
Can we use a sweetener like erythritol in place of honey?
Erika says
Yes, absolutely.
Lindsay England says
I just made this for dessert tonight while my boyfriend was playing poker. I snuck him some and he was shocked when I told him it was avocado! I needed a little bit more almond milk than the recipe called for, but this was amazing. Topped it with blueberries and unsweetened coconut.
