Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons melted dark chocolate (vegan-friendly)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the blender.
Blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
Add the melted dark chocolate to the blender and blend again until fully incorporated. This will enhance the chocolatey flavor and give the mousse an extra silky texture.
Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup, one teaspoon at a time, blending after each addition.
Transfer the mousse spread to a serving dish or airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly.
Serve as a spread on toast, pancakes, or waffles, or enjoy it as a decadent dessert with fresh fruit.
