The more and more I cook vegan recipes, the more I am amazed at what you can come up with. There are so many different things you can make with natural ingredients, some of which are better than all the processed stuff! This Vegan Chocolate Mousse Torte is an example of that. How can you make mousse vegan? A simple creamy ingredient does the trick…Avocado! I know right, Avocado? Seems crazy but I served this on two different occasions to friends and nobody had any idea. I waited until they literally licked their plates to tell them that the main ingredient besides chocolate is Avocado. Pretty amazing.
Delicious Rating: When I started cooking vegan I thought that desserts would be out of the question but this vegan dessert recipe really proves me wrong. It is rich in chocolate so this is perfect for any chocolate lover. I cut up some strawberries and let the juices flow with some powdered sugar and it really helped cut the richness. I don’t mind rich chocolate desserts but some do. Either way this chocolate mousse torte is a hit! Super easy recipe to cook and you can make it a day ahead for convenience. Let me know what you think!

This easy recipe starts out simply with making the torte.
You will definitely be tempted to eat this mousse, it is like pudding in your mouth.
The longer the cake sits out the more the avocado will taste because of it coming to room temperature. Don’t leave it out, just stick it back in the freezer between servings.
Delicious!
