Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/3 cup maple syrup (or agave syrup)

1/2 cup almond milk (or coconut milk for creaminess)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: vegan whipped cream, fresh berries, or chopped nuts

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Start by ensuring your avocados are perfectly ripe. Cut them in half, remove the pit, and scoop the green flesh into a food processor or high-speed blender.

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

      Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients together on high speed until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender or processor to ensure everything is well combined.

        Taste and Adjust: Taste your mousse and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding a little more maple syrup. If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, you can also add an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder.

          Chill: Once blended, transfer the mousse to individual serving bowls or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors and achieve a firmer texture.

            Serve: After chilling, serve your mousse with optional toppings like vegan whipped cream, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
