Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/3 cup pure maple syrup or agave nectar (adjust to taste)

1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder for extra flavor

Fresh berries and mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Place the ripe avocados in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

    Add Cocoa Powder: To the avocado puree, add the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup (or agave), almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until the mixture is fully combined and velvety. Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.

      Flavor Enhancement: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder. Blend again to mix.

        Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mousse into serving cups or a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Chilling intensifies the flavors and gives it a deliciously rich texture.

          Serve: Once chilled, serve the mousse in individual bowls or cups. Garnish with fresh berries and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.

            Enjoy: Dive into your guilt-free chocolate avocado mousse, relishing the creamy texture and rich flavor without any of the guilt!
