Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup maple syrup or honey (adjust sweetness to taste)

1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk (for a creamier texture)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: whipped coconut cream, shaved dark chocolate, or fresh berries

Instructions
 

Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the peeled and pitted ripe avocados, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup (or honey), full-fat coconut milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a completely smooth and creamy consistency. Stop to scrape down the sides of the container as needed to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

    Taste and Adjust: Once blended, taste the mousse for sweetness. If you find it needs more sweetness, gradually add more maple syrup or honey, blending again until the additional sweetener is fully incorporated.

      Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mousse into an airtight container or divide it among individual serving cups. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes. Chilling the mousse allows the flavors to meld together, although you can enjoy it immediately if you’re short on time.

        Freeze the Mousse: For a delightful frozen treat, place the mousse in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours. To serve later, pull it out of the freezer about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly for easier scooping.

          Serve: Scoop the silky mousse into bowls or elegant cups. Enhance each portion with your choice of delightful toppings such as luscious whipped coconut cream, delicate shaved dark chocolate, or vibrant fresh berries, adding an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.

            Enjoy: Dive in and relish the rich, creamy texture of your frozen chocolate avocado mousse – a truly indulgent yet healthy treat!
