- 2 ripe avocados - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 1/3 cup maple syrup (or honey) - 1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice) - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - Pinch of sea salt - 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if vegan) for garnish - Fresh berries for garnish (optional) When you gather your ingredients, use the right amounts. Each item plays a key role. The avocados give creaminess, while cocoa adds rich chocolate flavor. Maple syrup sweetens the mousse, and almond milk helps blend it all. Vanilla extract adds warmth, and sea salt enhances the taste. You can switch some ingredients if needed. Instead of maple syrup, you can use honey for sweetness. If you want a different milk, try coconut or oat milk. For a nut-free option, use soy milk. You can also skip the dark chocolate chips if you prefer. Instead, top with nuts or seeds for crunch. To start, gather your ingredients. You need two ripe avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, sea salt, dark chocolate chips, and optional berries for garnish. Next, cut the avocados in half. Remove the pits carefully. Use a spoon to scoop out the green flesh and put it in your food processor. Now, add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the food processor. Blend everything on high speed. Stop and scrape the sides as needed. Keep blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the mousse. If you want it sweeter, add a little more maple syrup and blend again. Once it's perfect, transfer the mousse into serving bowls or glasses. Put the bowls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time helps it set and taste better. While you wait, melt your dark chocolate chips. Use a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. When ready to serve, drizzle the melted chocolate over each bowl. You can also add fresh berries on top for extra flavor and color. Enjoy your rich and creamy chocolate avocado mousse! For the complete recipe, check the Full Recipe section. To get that rich and creamy mousse, use ripe avocados. They should feel soft but not mushy. When blending, start at a low speed. Gradually increase to high until the mixture is smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to mix evenly. If the mousse is too thick, add a splash of almond milk. This helps reach the desired texture. Taste your mousse before serving. If it’s not sweet enough, add more maple syrup. Start with a teaspoon at a time. Blend well after each addition. Remember, the cocoa powder adds some bitterness, so adjust as needed.
