1 ripe avocado

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

Pinch of sea salt

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

Instructions
 

Cut the ripe avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.

    Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond milk, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender.

      Blend everything on high speed until smooth and creamy. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

        Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more maple syrup. Blend again if you make any additions.

          Once the mousse is airy and fluffy, transfer it into serving glasses or bowls.

            Refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly.
