Ingredients
  

For the Mousse
  • 2 whole Ripe Avocados Ensure they're perfectly ripe for a luxuriously smooth texture.
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder Using unsweetened cocoa deepens the taste while keeping it low-sugar.
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup Can substitute with agave nectar or honey for non-vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract It's a must for that delightful depth of flavor.
  • 1 pinch Salt Elevates and balances flavors.
For Garnishing
  • 1 cup Fresh Berries Try strawberries or raspberries for contrast.
  • 1 cup Whipped Coconut Cream Maintains the dairy-free aspect.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Nuts Provide texture; sprinkle on top.

Equipment

  • Food Processor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, scoop the flesh of ripe avocados into the bowl along with unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend everything together until you have a silky, smooth mixture, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Continue processing the mixture, checking the consistency as you go. You want a creamy, velvety texture. This step is crucial to achieve the delightful mouthfeel; keep blending until it’s completely free of chunks, about 1 minute.
  3. Pause to sample your mousse; if you prefer it sweeter, add a little more maple syrup, and blend again for another 30 seconds.
  4. Transfer the mousse into serving dishes or bowls, cover, and chill for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld.
  5. After chilling, remove the mousse and serve garnished with fresh berries, whipped coconut cream, or chopped nuts.
