Decadent Chocolate Avocado Mousse Cups: A Healthy Indulgence

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 2 large ripe avocados
• 1/3 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder

Sweetener & Flavor

• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or agave)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Optional Toppings

• Fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries
• 1 tablespoon toasted almond slivers
• Extra cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

Blending the Chocolate Mixture

1. Add cocoa and sweetener. Sprinkle the unsweetened dark cocoa powder and maple syrup over the avocado. Blend on high for 30 seconds, then scrape the sides and blend another 30 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
2. Season and flavor. Drop in the vanilla extract and sea salt. Blend for an additional 10 seconds. The salt amplifies the chocolate depth, while vanilla adds a comforting aroma.
3. Check consistency. The mousse should be thick enough to hold its shape when spooned. If it feels too dense, add a tablespoon of almond milk and blend briefly; if too loose, add a little more cocoa powder.
