Avocado Chocolate Mousse

This rich, velvety avocado chocolate mousse is a healthy dessert that tastes intensely chocolaty and luxuriously creamy.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 2 tbsp melted dark chocolate
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp almond butter
• 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
2. Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, melted dark chocolate, vanilla extract, almond butter, and sea salt.
3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
4. Taste and adjust sweetness with a little more maple syrup or thin with a splash of almond milk if needed.
5. Spoon the mousse into jars or serving glasses and chill for at least 30 minutes for the best texture.
6. Serve cold as is, or top with berries, shaved chocolate, or a sprinkle of sea salt.

Tip: Use very ripe avocados for the smoothest texture and blend thoroughly so the mousse tastes purely chocolatey, not grassy.
