    I love mini desserts because you still get your dessert fix, but in a small portion. They are also vegetarian, gluten-free and Weight Watchers friendly. And you have to admit-  they look really cool!

    • 🍫🥑🍓 Chocolate Avocado Mousse & Strawberry Spoon Desserts Recipe

    I saw a similar spoon dessert at an event earlier this year and fell in love with them! But I decided I'd make them healthier by using a chocolate avocado mousse, fresh strawberries, dark chocolate, and coconut. I love how these mini desserts give you that sweet satisfaction, but with only a little indulgence!

    🔢WW Points

    That's what's so great about mini desserts- you get your dessert fix but can still stay on track with your health goals and they still satisfy. They are only 3 Weight Watchers points each and worth every single delicious point!

    🥑Health benefits of avocados

    Avocados are healthy, but they are not necessarily low-fat. But fat is not a bad thing here -avocados have 160 calories and 15 grams of healthy fats. And although they contain 9 grams of carbs, 7 of those are fiber, so there are only 2 "net" carbs, making this a low-carb-friendly plant food. You can read more about the health benefits of avocados HERE. 

    4 Chocolate Avocado strawberry desserts on spoons on a black appetizer tray

    Avocado chocolate mousse is simply made with avocado, milk, cocoa, almond extract, and sweetener. In this recipe, I use agave, as it's a natural, unrefined sweetener. Agave is sweeter than table sugar, rich in fructose, and also slightly higher in carbs (with 5 grams per teaspoon vs. 4 grams in table sugar.) But because agave tastes a hint sweeter, you might be able to use a little less to get the same amount of sweetness. You can read more about agave HERE.

    🥘 Ingredients

    For this chocolate strawberry recipe, you'll need:

    • avocado
    • agave 
    • cocoa powder
    • vanilla
    • milk
    • almond extract
    • strawberries
    • dark chocolate bar
    • unsweetened coconut
    2 Healthy Valentine's Day Desserts on spoons crossed over each other with a whole strawberry in the middle

    🔪 Instructions

    Make the mousse: Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh and put it into a small blender or food processor. Add the agave, cocoa powder, vanilla, milk, and almond extract. Blend until very smooth.

    ASSEMBLY

    strawberries cut in half in bottom of spoon

    Cut 7 strawberries in half and put ½ a strawberry (sliced side up with stem) on bottom of the spoon.

    Fill a pastry bag, fitted with a 1M tip full of avocado chocolate mousse. Pipe a dollop of mousse onto each strawberry half (as you would onto a cupcake) SEE VIDEO in NOTES * If you don't have a piping bag and tip, you can use a ziplock bag (just cut off one corner) and pipe the mousse in a circular motion.

    Cut each square of chocolate in half. Add a half piece of chocolate to each strawberry spoon.

    Remove remaining strawberry stems and finely chop strawberries, then sprinkle a few pieces on top of mousse, placing in front of chocolate bar piece.

    🍽 Equipment

    Spoons: I purchased the plastic spoons in the photos at a local Dollar/Party store. They are called Mini Spoons or Disposable Mini Dessert Spoons. You could also use small ramen/ soup spoons or any small porcelain spoon. You will also need a food processor. (affiliate links).

    📖 Variations & Substitutions

    • Agave - you can substitute liquid honey, but you'll need to double the amount
    • Dairy-free- you can make this dairy-free by using dairy-free milk like almond or soy milk
    • Strawberries - you could use a different fresh fruit or another berry

    👪 Serving Size

    This spoon dessert recipe makes 14 servings. However, you can half, double, or triple the recipe by clicking on the blue serving number and selecting the number of servings you'd like. The ingredient quantities will automatically adjust.

    🌡️Storage

    Store leftover dessert spoons in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

      These Avocado Chocolate mousse mini desserts are adorable, Terri! I happen to have a collection of ceramic spoons too, so I will be sure to pin this recipe to try. I appreciate that it could be made dairy free too with a non-dairy milk substitute. Thanks for sharing.
