Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsweetened plant milk (almond or soy)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or high-speed blender.
- Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, plant milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor.
- Process the ingredients until completely smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure no avocado chunks remain.
- Taste the mixture and add more sweetener or cocoa powder if you prefer a stronger flavor.
- Divide the mousse into small serving dishes.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly.
Notes
- Use very ripe avocados for the best, creamiest texture and to ensure the avocado flavor is completely masked.
- For a richer flavor, use dark or Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
- If the mixture is too thick after chilling, add one tablespoon of plant milk and blend briefly.
