Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 3 tablespoons raw honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup coconut milk

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, raw honey, vanilla extract, coconut milk, and sea salt to the blender.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a bit more honey.
Once the desired texture and taste are achieved, transfer the avocado mousse into serving bowls or ramekins.

Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, fresh berries, or a mint leaf for presentation.
