Instructions

Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse

1. Add the ripe avocados to a blender or food processor.
2. Sift in the cocoa powder to avoid lumps, then add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
3. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
4. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
5. Transfer to serving bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Fudgy Vegan Brownies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and coconut sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: melted coconut oil, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
5. Fold in vegan chocolate chips if using, for extra melty pockets of chocolate.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
8. Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.

Easy Vegan Chocolate Truffles

1. Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan until just simmering—do not boil.
2. Place chopped vegan dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
3. Pour the hot coconut milk over the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes.
4. Stir gently until smooth, then add maple syrup and vanilla extract.
5. Refrigerate the mixture for 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
6. Use a teaspoon or melon baller to form small balls.
7. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder or crushed nuts for a beautiful finish.
8. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Tips & Variations

For a nutty twist, add chopped toasted almonds or walnuts to your brownies or truffles.

If you prefer sweeter mousse, experiment with adding a tablespoon of melted vegan chocolate or a splash of almond milk.

Use ripe bananas instead of applesauce in the brownies for a fruitier flavor and added moisture.

Try rolling the truffles in shredded coconut or crushed freeze-dried raspberries for colorful variations.

Nutrition Facts

Serving Suggestions

These vegan chocolate delights shine on their own but can also be paired with fresh fruits like strawberries or raspberries to add a refreshing contrast.

For parties or gifts, package the truffles in small boxes lined with parchment paper — they’re sure to impress friends and family alike.
