5. Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure all ingredients are fully combined.
6. Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup.
7. Pour the chocolate mousse mixture into serving dishes or ramekins.
8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it sets and becomes firm.
