Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or agave syrup)

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

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Fresh berries (like raspberries or strawberries) for garnish

Instructions
 

Blend the Avocados: In a food processor, add the ripe avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.

    Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste the cream. If you prefer it sweeter, add a bit more maple syrup and blend again.

      Prepare the Cups: Once smooth, spoon the chocolate avocado cream into individual serving cups or small bowls. Fill them to the top for a delightful presentation.

        Chill: Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to firm up a bit.

          Finishing Touches: Before serving, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts (15-20 seconds) until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the chilled avocado cream cups.

            Garnish and Serve: Top each cup with fresh berries for a pop of color and added freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy this guilt-free dessert!
