Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large + very ripe avocados (peeled and pitted)
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate (melted and lightly cooled)
  • 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee
  • 1/3 cup canned coconut milk
  • 4 ripe bananas (sliced into rounds)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Method
 

  1. Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Combine avocados, melted chocolate, dark cocoa powder, honey, and salt in a food processor. Grind instant coffee to a fine powder and add it. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Add the coconut milk to the food processor and blend again until completely smooth and creamy. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably 3-4 hours.
  4. When ready to serve, melt 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side, until nicely browned and caramelized.
  6. Spoon the warm caramelized bananas over the chilled mousse and serve immediately.

Notes

- Use very ripe avocados for the smoothest, creamiest mousse texture.
- Ensure your dark chocolate is good quality for the best flavor.
- Do not over-process the mousse; blend until just smooth to avoid a gummy texture.
- Chill the mousse sufficiently; this is crucial for it to set properly.
