Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)

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

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Fresh berries (for topping)

Dark chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a food processor.

    Blend the Mousse: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed.

      Taste and Adjust: Do a quick taste test! If you want it sweeter, add a bit more maple syrup to your liking and blend again.

        Chill the Mousse: Once the mousse is at your desired sweetness and consistency, spoon it into mini dessert cups or small glasses. Lightly tap the cups on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

          Refrigerate: Cover the cups with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set and chill the mousse.

            Serve: Just before serving, top each mousse cup with fresh berries and a sprinkling of dark chocolate shavings for an appealing look. Enjoy your deliciously healthy dessert!
