Is Avocado a Fruit or a Vegetable?
It is a much-discussed topic, but avocado is actually a fruit. Botanists define avocado as a large fruit with a single seed. But if you ask us, avocado
is a bit of a fruit, a bit of a vegetable . Just like tomatoes. We are used to the sweetness of the fruit, we found its taste a bit strange at first, but when we learned how to eat avocado in the best way and the hundreds of recipes that can be made with it, our admiration for it increased exponentially. Avocado has become an indispensable part of many recipes lately, thanks to its taste being compatible with both sweets and salty dishes.
What is Mousse?
The word means foam, it comes from French. It is usually made by mixing any main dish ingredient (fish, vegetables, chocolate, etc.) that has been thoroughly mashed and pureed with beaten egg whites and cream until it is mixed, or both. If the mousse is sweet, it can sometimes be served frozen. It is said to have been produced in France since the end of the 18th century.
Cocoa/chocolate mousse has become one of the most popular mousses in the world. Today, we will prepare a delicious mousse using the unique flavor of organic raw cocoa.

Preparation of the Base:
- Soak cashews and raw almonds in water overnight.
- The next day, peel the almonds.
- Remove the pits from the dates that have been soaked in warm water for 15 minutes.
- Mix all ingredients in the mixer.
- Give the desired shape on the wax paper.
- Place in the oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for approximately 15 minutes, until golden brown.
- After cooking, leave them uncovered to cool and harden.
Preparation of the Filling:
- Remove the pits from the dates and soak them in 1/4 cup hot water until they soften.
- After the dates have softened, remove them from the water and put them in the blender. Pour the sweetener into the water you took the dates out of and dissolve it thoroughly.
- Blend all the ingredients together in a blender. The measurement here should be considered as the inside should be fluid and there should be no pieces left inside.

Tips for Cocoa Avocado Mousse
- The base recipe we gave you is actually a functional base recipe. If you don't have this base on hand, it may take up to 2 hours to make this mousse, and if you don't have raw almonds soaked in water, you will need to wait at least 14 hours. We recommend that you plan with this in mind.
- It is also important that the avocado is ripe and soft. It will be much easier to mash and will provide a creamy consistency, which is an important point for the mousse.
- If you sift the raw cocoa, you can get a smoother dessert.
- It is also useful to first run the blender on low speed for short intervals to mix all the ingredients, and then run it on high speed for a minute or two to ensure the dessert reaches a smooth consistency.
What other ingredients can be added to the Cocoa Avocado Mousse Recipe?
- You can add Ceylon cinnamon powder to the inner mixture.
- You can decorate your delicious mousse with organic chocolate chips, fresh mint leaves and strawberry slices.
