🥘 Ingredient Notes

• Avocado. Avocados add creamy texture and healthy fats. A typical avocado has about 160 calories and 15 g of mostly monounsaturated fats. Net carbs are low because much of the carbohydrate content is fiber.
• Agave. A natural liquid sweetener that’s sweeter than table sugar, so you can use slightly less to achieve the same sweetness.
• Almond extract. Adds a subtle, pleasant almond note that complements the chocolate.
• Dark chocolate. Choose a high-quality bar for garnish; a high cocoa percentage gives a rich, slightly bitter contrast to the mousse.

*See recipe card below for full ingredient list and exact quantities.

📖 Variations & Substitutions

• Sweetener – Substitute liquid honey (use about double the amount if using honey instead of agave).
• Dairy-free – Use almond, soy, or oat milk to keep the mousse dairy-free.
• Fruit – Swap strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or thin slices of banana.
• Chocolate – Use milk or white chocolate for a sweeter finish, or chocolate chips if you prefer.
• Spoons – Swap plastic spoons for silver or porcelain mini spoons for a fancier presentation.

🔪 How to Make Chocolate Strawberry Spoon Desserts

Make the Avocado Chocolate Mousse: 

1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small blender or food processor.
2. Add agave, cocoa powder, vanilla, milk, and almond extract.
3. Blend until completely smooth and silky.

Assembly:

Cut 7 strawberries in half. Place a strawberry half (sliced side up, stem attached) at the bottom of each spoon.

Fill a piping bag fitted with a 1M tip (or a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off) and pipe a swirl of mousse onto each strawberry half.

Cut chocolate squares in half and insert one half-square into each mousse-topped strawberry spoon.

Remove the remaining stems and finely chop a few strawberries. Sprinkle small pieces atop the mousse in front of the chocolate piece for color and texture.

Finish with a light sprinkle of unsweetened coconut and arrange whole strawberries on the serving plate for garnish.

Recipe Tips

• Choose ripe avocados: They should yield slightly when pressed but not be mushy—Hass avocados work best.
• Blend until silky: Process for 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides for a smooth mousse with no lumps.
• Chill briefly: Refrigerate the mousse for 15–20 minutes before piping so it holds its shape better.
• Use quality chocolate: A 70–90% dark chocolate balances the sweetness and enhances the cocoa flavor.
• Prep strawberries neatly: Even slicing and clean hulling make for an elegant presentation.
• Spoons matter: Small dessert spoons—plastic, porcelain, or silver—lift the presentation for parties or events.
