Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocado
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 1 pinch pinch of sea salt
- as desired optional: dark chocolate shavings or fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, unsweetened almond milk, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the mousse is too thick, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness by adding an additional teaspoon of maple syrup if needed.
Spoon the mousse into serving bowls or glasses, smoothing the tops with a spoon.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to chill and set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with dark chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
Serve chilled and enjoy your healthy chocolate mousse!
