Ingredients
  • 2 Ripe Avocados
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 cup Dairy-Free Milk (Almond, Soy, or Oat)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Pinch of Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips (Optional)

Preparation

Begin by preparing all your ingredients. This will make the process smoother and faster.

Blend the Ingredients

In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the ripe avocados, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, dairy-free milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is well incorporated.

Check Consistency and Sweetness

Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more maple syrup if needed. If the mousse is too thick, add a tablespoon of dairy-free milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Chill and Serve

Transfer the mousse to individual serving dishes or a larger bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to chill and set slightly. Before serving, garnish with dairy-free chocolate chips if desired.
