Ingredients
  • 1 Ripe Avocado
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 2-3 tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Almond Milk (or any milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Pinch of Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Chocolate Chips (optional garnish)

Preparation

First, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender.

Blending

Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor or blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well combined.

Adjusting Sweetness

Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness as needed by adding more maple syrup. If the mousse is too thick, add a little more almond milk, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Serving

Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Garnish with chocolate chips, berries, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder, if desired. Serve immediately or chill for later. Chilling for about 30 minutes can enhance the flavor and texture.
