In 2016 and 2017, I spent just about a year on a strict Candida diet. Back then, there weren’t as many products, not as much research, and not nearly enough of the tools I needed to make it bearable. It was incredibly difficult to feel so restricted, and so this year, when I spent another month on a Candida diet, I explored new recipes, products, and ways to make it easy! This Chocolate Avocado Mousse is not only DELICIOUS, but it contains zero sugar, dairy, or gluten. I hope you enjoy this sweet treat as much as I do!
Prep Time: 5 minutes Total Time: 10 minutes Yields: 3-4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 3/4th cup sugar-free chocolate (you can use 100% cacao, or stevia sweetened chocolate chips)
- 1/4th cup unsweetened dairy-free milk
- 3 tbsp cacao powder
- 2 tbsp sugar alternative (my favorite is purecane)
- 1 tsp alcohol-free pure vanilla extract
- a pinch of salt
- fresh berries, nuts, or shredded coconut for topping
Instructions
- Scoop the ripe avocados into a bowl and mash until completely smooth (you can use a food-processor if you’d like)
- Melt the chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave (do this in 10 second increments to prevent burning)
- While you wait for the chocolate to cool slightly, add the dairy-free milk, cacao powder, sugar alternative, vanilla, and salt
- Add the chocolate, mix the ingredients all together with a whisk, removing all clumps
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to set
- Top with fresh berries, nuts, and unsweetened shredded coconut
- Enjoy!
