1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Fresh berries (for garnish)

Chopped nuts or shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Avocados: In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the ripe avocados. Make sure to choose avocados that are soft but not overripe.

Blend Ingredients: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, pure maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the avocados.

Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture. Ensure there are no lumps of avocado remaining.

Taste Test: Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness, if necessary, by adding more maple syrup or honey according to your preference.

Chill the Mousse: Once blended, spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.

Serve and Garnish: After chilling, remove from the refrigerator. Garnish with fresh berries and sprinkle some chopped nuts or shredded coconut on top for added crunch and flavor.

Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, creamy chocolate mousse that’s both delicious and packed with healthy fats!
