Paleo Chocolate Avocado Mousse
the best way possible.
This Paleo Chocolate Avocado Mousse is velvety, rich, and secretly healthy—kind of like your best friend’s boyfriend, minus the guilt.
It ditches the dairy, skips the refined sugar, and still manages to taste like something you’d eat in stretchy pants on the couch.
The avocado gives it that luxurious, creamy texture while cacao brings the bold, decadent flavor.
It’s plant-based, full of healthy fats, and takes zero culinary degrees to make.
Basically, it’s a breakup-recovery mousse—with benefits.
