📖 Instructions

1. First, let's get started with the avocado. Carefully cut one ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl. Make sure your avocado is nice and ripe for the creamiest mousse. If it’s a bit firm, it's okay; it’ll work, but a ripe one is ideal!
2. Next, we add the chocolate! Melt 1/2 cup of good quality dark chocolate (seventy percent cacao or higher, ideally) in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until completely smooth and luscious. Avoid burning it; low and slow is the way to go here. Let it cool slightly.
3. Now, for the blending part. Add the melted chocolate to the avocado and combine well using a whisk. Now add 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (adjust to your taste) along with 1/4 cup of milk (or dairy-free milk if you prefer) and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk again until the mix is smooth and creamy.
4. Almost there! Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Trust me, the vanilla extract makes a huge difference. It elevates the whole mousse to another level! If you feel like experimenting, try adding a pinch of cinnamon for a warmer taste.
5. Now, grab your blender! Give the mixture a good whirl in the blender for about 30 seconds, until super smooth and airy. Scrape down the sides as needed. We're going for that dreamy, light-as-air consistency.
6. Finally, carefully pour the mousse into serving glasses. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and chill completely. The longer it chills, the firmer it becomes. Top with fresh berries just before serving. Enjoy!
