Why this vegan chocolate mousse is healthier?

So do you have room for this vegan chocolate mousse? Of course, you do.
Top Tip : why I use raw cacao?
Raw cacao is not the same as your average cocoa powder. Most commercial cocoa is heavily processed and roasted, which strips away many of the antioxidants and flavanols—the powerful compounds that help keep you feeling (and looking) young and healthy.
Raw cacao, on the other hand, is minimally processed and packed with goodness. It’s believed to have up to 40 times more antioxidants than blueberries! These antioxidants help fight off free radicals in the body, which supports healthy aging and overall wellness.
That’s not all—raw cacao is also rich in iron, magnesium, and even calcium, making it a true superfood for your heart, brain, and bones.
And when you blend raw cacao with ripe avocado and maple syrup, you get a rich, creamy chocolate flavor—without any dairy or refined sugar. Pure magic!

Vegan chocolate mousse with avocado
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, stoned and peeled
- 3 tbsp raw cacao powder
- 1 tsp vanilla powder
- 3 dates, pitted and soaked in water
- ¼ cup vegetal milk , (I use rice, soya or macadamia milk, but any other non dairy milk will work)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Soak the dates in hot water for about 5 minutes to make them moist and easy to blend. Then, remove the dates (and save the water for a smoothie).
- Simply put all ingredients in a food processor or a blender (if possible a small or medium container) and mix until smooth. If you use a big blender perhaps you will need to stop a few times, scrap off the sides and blend again.
- Fill in small glasses or cups with the delicious mousse and chill them in the fridge for at least 1h.
- Sprinkle them with some raw cacao nibs, roasted coconut flakes or a big batch of lovely raspberries, before serving.
