Ingredients for Nourishing Low Carb Chocolate Mousse (serves 2–3)

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 100g 90% dark chocolate (Lindt or similar)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 150–200ml almond milk, coconut milk, or dairy milk
  • Sweetener to taste (stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol are ideal). *Stevia is preferred.

Method

  1. Blend base:
    Add avocados, salt, and your milk of choice to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Melt chocolate:
    Break the chocolate into small pieces and microwave in 15-30-second intervals, stirring between each burst. Alternatively, melt gently in a double boiler. Avoid overheating.
  3. Combine & sweeten:
    Add the melted chocolate to the blender and blend again. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Stevia is a great option as it’s less likely to disrupt your gut biome or cause bloating.
  4. Chill & enjoy:
    Spoon into ramekins or jars. Serve immediately or refrigerate for a firmer texture. Keeps for up to two days.
  5. Top with chopped hazelnuts, shaved chocolate & blueberries & blackberries.

  • Low glycaemic sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit help satisfy cravings without blood sugar spikes or digestive upset.

Nutritional Highlights of Avocado

Avocados are a nutrient-dense superfood packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and over 20 vitamins and minerals, including potassium, folate, and vitamins K, E, and C. They support heart, brain, eye, and digestive health, help reduce inflammation, and are rich in antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin.

Their low glycemic index makes them blood sugar-friendly, and their high fiber and healthy fat content can aid in weight management and reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome. Versatile and delicious, avocados are a powerful addition to a balanced, health-supportive diet.Nutritional Highlights of Avocado
