Recipe Directions
- 1. Place all ingredients in food processor. Process until extremely smooth. (You can't over-process this one, so do keep going until it's perfectly mousse-like!)
- 2. Spoon mousse into individual dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before eating.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian What makes this raw chocolate mousse recipe so special? The addition of avocado gives it that fluffy, mousse-like texture. And to get the full effect of the texture, you'll want to refrigerate it for at least 1 hour before noshing on it!
Note that the coconut oil is an important ingredient - it's what helps the mousse harden up a bit in the fridge.
Because this is such a small recipe, it whips up best when made in a food processor.
For extra flavor and fun, add fresh berries to your mousse when eating!
PS: Make sure your banana and avocado are fresh and at the peak of perfection.

I don't have a food processor and the only "blender" that I have is the Nutribullet.. Any tips? Maybe mix by hand?

Raw chocolate mousse recipe
Tasted the mix out of the food processor as did Mr 5. I did mine with the addition of a blood orange (rind and juice).....jaffa mousse.....passed the taste test with flying colours!! 8 serves in the fridge (I doubled recipe using 3 med avos and 2 lg bananas) chilling for family dinner for 8 tomorrow night. BRING it ON!

Yep - sure was.....so much so that my brother made it for his GF and him (both there for mine) next day and I made it for the kids yesterday (with orange again). We served with frozen raspberries on top for the family thing and fresh strawbs last night for the kids.

Would a vitamix instead of food processor work with this recipe?

Hi Josie,
A food processor is recommended, but yes, this is one of the few recipes that would work in a VM or a FP.

Raw chocolate mousse recipe
Laura Jane,
This is so fabulous. Made it for a picnic this weekend and going to use it for a cooking class on Friday. My husband says it reminds him of his mother's Dutch chocolate pudding recipe in which she would add orange zest to. I will try that next time...
Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Rawtarian is my go-to everyday and I appreciate it so much.

What is the big difference between this and your avacado choco pudding, taste-wise?

Not too much difference, Taylor!

Raw chocolate mousse recipe
This is DELICIOUS! Wondering if you know how long it would keep? I want to bring this to a potluck but have to prep the food a day in advance. Worried the avocados will go off. Any thoughts?

The avocado should be fine (as long as it wasn't too old when you used it). It will harden a bit in fridge though, so keep that in mind - it'll be more solid on the second day

Do you have a recommendation for an oil that I can use besides coconut oil? I am allergic to coconut.
The Rawtarian
Mar 24, 2014
Hi Katelyn,
No other oil will do, but you can experiment with chia seeds or ground chia seeds instead in this recipe

Raw chocolate mousse recipe
I was sceptical and curious so I tried :) ... and it turned very good (and very rich!). Next time I'll make it with dates instead of banana.
