📖 Instructions
- First thing's first: gather your ingredients! Make sure your avocados are ripe and soft, and your chocolate is finely chopped. This makes blending way easier. You don't want to be wrestling with giant chunks of chocolate, trust me.
- Next, melt your chocolate. I like to use a double boiler method (placing a heatproof bowl over simmering water) because it allows for gentle, even melting. But a microwave is fine too, in short bursts.
- Now, get your blender ready. Add the avocados, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted chocolate to the blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. This should only take a minute or two. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water or plant-based milk to thin it out. You should end up with a beautiful, glossy mousse
- Once it's blended perfectly, taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Add a tiny pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor (it really does help!).
- Pour the mousse into your serving glasses. Now, for the fun part: Garnish! Fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder all work wonderfully.
- Pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld. Then, enjoy! This is even better the next day...if there's any left! :)
📝 Notes
- For a vegan version use plant based milk instead of regular milk.
- Adjust maple syrup to your sweetness preferences
