Gluten Free Dessert - Chocolate Avocado Mousse

gluten free dessert Are you having trouble finding a quick and easy gluten free dessert recipe? Many desserts are full of ingredients that are not allowed on the gluten free diet but we all like something sweet occasionally, don't we? Here is a simple but tasty avocado recipe that may fit the bill!

If you are also searching for dairy free desserts due to lactose intolerance symptoms or if you are on a gluten free casein free diet then this will also be suitable for you too.

The avocado pear is high in protein and carbohydrate. It also contains oils that are not only good for you internally but, due to the vitamin E content, are also great for both your skin and hair. Add in Vitamins B and C, as well as a rich source of potassium and this fruit is seriously good food!


Ingredients per person

  • 1 avocado
  • 1-2 tsp gluten free cocoa powder
  • 1-2 tsp honey
  • 1-2 tsp oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Quarter cup water


Remove the flesh from the avocado, blend it with the other ingredients then put the mixture into individual cups or bowls. Refrigerate and enjoy. Simple!


Tips and variations

Play with the ratio between cocoa and honey in this recipe to suit your taste.

Replace some of the oil with tahini for a different taste.

If you want to save on honey and add a little texture, use dates for sweetening.

Add all manner of other healthy ingredients that may tickle your fancy: a sprinkle of ground flaxseed...chopped nuts or seeds... a little grated orange rind...
