Matcha Avocado Mousse with Berry Compote
This creamy, vibrant green dessert combines the earthy notes of matcha with the buttery richness of avocado for a guilt-free treat that's naturally vegan, gluten-free, and packed with antioxidants. The tart berry compote adds a fresh contrast, making it perfect for a sophisticated after-dinner indulgence or brunch finale. It's quick to prepare—no baking required—and serves 4.
Ingredients
For the Mousse:
- 2 ripe avocados pitted and scooped
- 1/4 cup coconut milk full-fat for creaminess
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon high-quality matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Juice of 1/2 lime about 1 tablespoon
- Pinch of sea salt
For the Berry Compote:
- 2 cups mixed berries fresh or frozen; strawberries, blueberries, raspberries work best
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey for vegan, use agave
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger optional, for warmth
For Garnish (optional):
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Fresh mint leaves
- A dusting of extra matcha powder
Instructions
Prepare the Mousse:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado flesh, coconut milk, maple syrup, matcha powder, vanilla extract, lime juice, and sea salt. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed. Taste and add more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. Spoon the mixture into 4 small serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set (or up to 2 hours for firmer texture).
Make the Berry Compote:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, agave nectar, lemon zest, and ground ginger (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the berries soften and release their juices, forming a thick compote. If using frozen berries, no need to thaw. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. For a smoother texture, mash lightly with a fork.
Assemble and Serve:
- Spoon a generous dollop of berry compote over each chilled mousse. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes, fresh mint, and a light dusting of matcha if desired. Serve immediately or keep chilled for up to 1 day.
