Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1/4 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Dairy-free chocolate shavings or fresh berries (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Start by placing the ripe avocados in a food processor or high-speed blender. Ensure they are fully ripe for a creamy texture.

    Add Ingredients: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the food processor with the avocados.

      Blend Until Smooth: Pulse the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the processor as needed. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

        Taste and Adjust: Taste the mousse. If you prefer it sweeter, add more maple syrup and blend again.

          Chill the Mousse: Once blended to perfection, scoop the mixture into individual serving bowls or jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up a bit.

            Serve: Once chilled, remove from the fridge, and garnish with dairy-free chocolate shavings or fresh berries for a beautiful presentation.

              Enjoy: Dive into this luscious, creamy dessert that’s rich in flavor yet healthy and entirely vegan!
