Ingredients (for 4 servings)

• 2 ripe avocados

• 120 ml (½ cup) unsweetened almond milk (or another plant-based milk of your choice)

• 25 g (¼ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder

• 60 ml (¼ cup) maple syrup (or honey, to taste)

• 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract

• 1 pinch of salt

  
  

Instructions

1. Prepare the avocats:

   Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Place the avocado flesh in a blender or food processor.

   
   

2. Add the ingredients:

   Add the almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the blender.

   
   

3. Blend:

   Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop the blender occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well combined.

   
   

4. Adjust the taste:

   Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup if needed.

   
   

5. Chill:

   Transfer the mousse to ramekins or serving bowls. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up.

   
   

6. Serve:

   Serve the chocolate avocado mousse chilled, garnished with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit (raspberries, strawberries), crushed nuts, or dark chocolate shavings for an extra indulgent touch.
