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
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?
Hi Judi, I don’t track calories, but you can plug the ingredients into a calorie calculator online and find out.
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…
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?
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.
Wow this recipe looks amazing! Just to confirm, I don’t have to refrigerate this mousse do I?
Thanks!
You should refrigerate it.
Is it possible to freeze this and have it as a soft serve?
I’m not sure how well the avocado will freeze, but it wouldn’t hurt to try.
How long will this last for if kept in the fridge?
