Chocolate Avocado Mousse Tart

A decadent and creamy chocolate avocado mousse on top of a cookie-like tart base. Vegan and soy free. It can also be made without gluten, refined sugar and nuts!

Have you ever made chocolate mousse using avocados? It is super EASY easy! All you need to do is add avocado flesh and a few basic ingredients to a food processor and process it until it’s ultra creamy.

But does chocolate avocado mousse look and taste like avocados?

If you use the right ingredients, NO! The trick is to make sure you add:

• enough cocoa powder to cover the green colour
• enough sweetener and melted chocolate to transfer the taste.

I highly recommend that you use a food processor, blender or stick blender to puree the avocado. If you use a potato masher or fork, you’ll have a lumpy green-brown sweet mess…. sadly, I speak from experience! Hopefully my disastrous green-brown experience will prevent you from ever doing that!

So, with the right amount of ingredients and a decent blender, your guests will never know there is avocado in the dessert. The mousse is so creamy and soft that even a baby could eat it!

Pastry scares me. Is the vegan chocolate pastry easy?

I made sure the crust is easy enough for the most novice bakers! If you can make cookies, you can make this tart crust. In fact, the crust of this tart is a simplified version of my Vegan Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies (one of my favourite recipes)!

All you have to do is mix the ingredients and press them into the tart. You don’t need a rolling pin and you don’t need to blind bake the pastry.

Once you make it, you’ll realise the crispy cookie-like texture PERFECTLY complements the silky smooth chocolate avocado mousse. 

How should I decorate the tart?

I topped the tart with fresh berries to balance out the creaminess and richness of the chocolate avocado mousse. However, the tart will also go well with most other fresh fruit such as bananas, coconut and pomegranate! Alternatively, you can skip the decorations and enjoy the tart as is :).

Here’s a video of me making the tart. See how easy it is?!
