Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large ripe avocados pit and skin removed
  • 1/2 cup dutch processed cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened plant milk almond or oat
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional but recommended
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. **Load.** Add avocado flesh, cocoa powder, maple syrup, plant milk, vanilla, and salt to a food processor.
  2. **Blend.** Blend on high for 2 full minutes, scraping down the sides twice. The mousse should be silky and glossy.
  3. **Adjust.** Taste and add more maple for sweeter or more cocoa for deeper chocolate. Blend 30 seconds more.
  4. **Portion.** Divide into 4 small glasses or ramekins.
  5. **Chill.** Cover with plastic wrap pressed against the surface. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  6. **Serve.** Top with berries, coconut whip, or a sprinkle of flaky salt.

Notes

Use a fully ripe avocado. Rock hard avocados make grainy mousse. Vegan swap: avocado replaces heavy cream and egg yolks here, giving the mousse its silky body. Store covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. A press of plastic wrap on the surface prevents browning.
