Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces Haas avocados Provides a creamy base and healthy fats.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Adds rich chocolate flavor without the sugar.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup Acts as a natural sweetener, enhancing the mousse's taste.
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Infuses a warm, aromatic flavor that complements chocolate.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the avocado, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla in your food processor bowl.
  2. Blend for about one minute, stopping once to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula if needed.
  3. When done, the mousse should be thick and creamy. Taste and adjust the cocoa powder or sweetener if needed.
  4. Allow the mousse to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving to meld the flavors.

Notes

Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture. Chill the mousse in the fridge for a firmer consistency before serving. Consider serving with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
