This Vegan Chocolate Mousse with Raspberry Compote is a dairy-free, creamy dessert that combines the rich, smooth texture of avocado and cocoa powder mousse with a vibrant, tangy homemade raspberry compote. Perfectly sweetened and elegantly presented, it offers a light, airy treat that is both indulgent and refreshing, ideal for vegan and dairy-sensitive diets.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chocolate Mousse

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons plant-based milk (optional)

For the Raspberry Compote

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Compote: Place fresh raspberries and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as the berries break down and release their juices. Add maple syrup to sweeten and cook for about 7-10 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in chia seeds if using, then set aside to cool.
  2. Blend the Mousse: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the ripe avocado, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until silky smooth and fully combined. Add a splash of plant-based milk if the texture is too thick, adjusting to your preferred consistency.
  3. Assemble and Chill: Divide the chocolate mousse evenly into serving glasses or bowls. Spoon a generous layer of raspberry compote on top or swirl it through the mousse for a marbled effect. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to let the flavors meld and the mousse firm up slightly.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, garnish with fresh raspberries, mint leaves, cocoa powder, or your choice of toppings. Serve immediately for the best creamy and fruity experience.

Notes

  • Pick ripe avocados for a creamy smooth mousse without lumps.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness gradually to balance the natural bitterness of cocoa.
  • Let the raspberry compote cool before layering to prevent melting the mousse.
  • Serve the mousse chilled to fully enjoy its fluffy texture.
