Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
- ¼ cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather ripe avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Ensure the avocados are soft and ripe for a smooth mousse.
- Blend Ingredients: Add all ingredients into a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mousse and add more sweetener if desired. Blend again briefly to mix any added sweetener.
- Transfer and Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to achieve the best texture and flavor.
- Serve: Serve chilled as a healthy dessert or treat.
Notes
- Use very ripe avocados for the smoothest texture and best flavor.
- Replace maple syrup with dates or agave if preferred to customize sweetness.
- Store the mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
- Adding a pinch of espresso powder can enhance and deepen the chocolate flavor.
