This Avocado Mousse recipe is an easy 3 ingredient dessert. It’s cool, creamy, and a fun twist on a traditional mousse.
I love using avocados to make desserts, and this avocado mousse is a new favorite. It’s so easy to make with just three ingredients.
The avocados make a really creamy, rich mousse but the taste is pretty mild. If you love avocados, I think you will enjoy it.
Ingredients
- Avocado
- Silken tofu
- Condensed milk
Avocados: Avocados are great for mousse because they give it a really creamy texture and they pair well with a sweetener. For this recipe, I used the flesh of one large avocado.
Tofu: Many varieties of tofu are available in the supermarket, such as firm, extra firm, soft, and silken. Look at the labeling to determine what kind of tofu you are buying. Silken tofu has a delicate, soft, custard-like texture. When it’s pureed, it becomes a creamy, silky base that works well for dressings, sauces, puddings, etc. Soft tofu will also work but I don’t recommend using firm tofu.
Sweetened condensed milk: You can adjust the amount depending on how sweet you want the mousse. I recommend using 4 to 5 tablespoons.
Optional toppings: The mousse is delicious, but I like adding a dollop of dairy-free Coconut Whipped Cream for serving. The coconut flavor gives the avocado mousse a tropical twist. You can also garnish with fruit like fresh raspberries or blueberries.
How to Make Avocado Mousse
This mousse doesn’t take much time at all because you don’t have to cook anything. All you do is blend together the avocado, tofu, and condensed milk until smooth. You can do this in a high-powdered blender or in a food processor.
Chill the avocado mousse in the refrigerator for several hours or until it’s set and it’s ready to serve.
Recipe Tips
Make sure you use ripe avocados for this recipe. If you want more tips, you might like my post with tips for using avocados.
I recommend enjoying avocado mousse within a day or so. The avocado will start to brown after it’s sat in the fridge.

You dont actually need the coconut whipped cream to make the mousse. It’s just a garnish. But here is the link to it: https://kirbiecravings.com/2013/05/dairy-free-coconut-whipped-cream.html
