Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados (peeled and pitted)

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup maple syrup or honey (adjust for sweetness)

1/4 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creamier texture)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: whipped coconut cream, shaved dark chocolate, or fresh berries

Instructions
 

Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the ripe avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup (or honey), coconut milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well combined.

    Taste and Adjust: Taste the mousse for sweetness. If desired, add more maple syrup or honey, and blend until incorporated.

      Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mousse to an airtight container or individual serving cups. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. If you prefer, you can skip this step, but chilling enhances the flavor significantly.

        Freeze the Mousse: For a frozen treat, place the mousse in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours. If you plan to serve it later, it’s best to take it out of the freezer about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly.

          Serve: Scoop the mousse into bowls or cups. Add your choice of toppings such as whipped coconut cream, shaved dark chocolate, or fresh berries for an extra touch of elegance and flavor.

            Enjoy: Dig in and enjoy your rich and creamy frozen chocolate avocado mousse!
