Ingredients
For the Chocolate Lime Avocado Mousse:
- 2 Ripe avocados pitted and peeled
- 1/2 cup Dairy-free dark chocolate chips melted
- 1/3 cup Cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup Maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tsp Lime zest plus extra for garnish
- 1 pinch Sea salt
For the Churro Cheesecake Dip:
- 8 oz Vegan cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup Coconut whipped cream
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Dairy-free sour cream or plain vegan yogurt
- 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Organic sugar for the cinnamon swirl
Instructions
For the Chocolate Lime Mousse:
- Place the avocados, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, lime juice, lime zest, and salt into a blender or food processor.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Spoon the mousse into small individual cups and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Garnish with extra lime zest and a tiny pinch of sea salt before serving.
For the Churro Cheesecake Dip:
- In a medium bowl, beat the vegan cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla, and dairy-free sour cream until fluffy.
- Gently fold in the coconut whipped cream.
- In a small separate bowl, mix the 1 tablespoon of sugar with 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Swirl this mixture into the dip for a "churro" effect.
- Serve in a bowl alongside cinnamon-sugar pita chips or vegan graham crackers.
Notes
Avocado Tip: Make sure your avocados are perfectly ripe (soft but not brown) to ensure the mousse is silky and doesn't have a "grassy" flavor.
Make Ahead: The dip can be made 24 hours in advance. The mousse is best served within 12 hours to maintain its vibrant color and fresh taste.
Serving Suggestion: For an extra festive look, serve the mousse in margarita glasses with a lime wheel on the rim!
