Ah, chocolate mousse—silky, rich, and indulgent. But what if I told you that this classic French dessert could be keto-friendly, free of sugar, and packed with healthy fats? Intrigued? Bien sûr! (Don’t worry, that’s the only French you’ll need to know.) Today, I’m sharing a luscious recipe where creamy avocado meets the deep intensity of cocoa and the irresistible crunch of toasted coconut. Perfectly keto and utterly divine, this is a dessert that proves indulgence doesn’t have to break the rules—or your carb count.
Let me guide you to keto dessert bliss, the French way.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
• 2 ripe medium avocados (peeled, pitted, and ready to shine)
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (choose the good stuff!)
• 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener (or your preferred keto-friendly option)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (adjust for desired texture)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• A pinch of fine sea salt
• 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut (toasted to golden perfection)
• Optional toppings: fresh berries, keto-friendly chocolate chips, or a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream
Method
1. Toast the Coconut
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded coconut and stir gently until golden and aromatic, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. Make the Mousse
In a food processor or blender, combine the avocado, cocoa powder, sweetener, almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust with a bit more sweetener or cocoa as needed.
3. Chill the Mousse
Spoon the mixture into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the texture firm up.
4. Garnish and Serve
Before serving, sprinkle with toasted coconut and any optional toppings. Voilà—a keto dessert masterpiece!
