Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Ripe avocados (2 large or 3 small; Hass preferred)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder (1/3 to 1/2 cup, to taste)
  • Plant milk (1/4 to 1/3 cup; almond, oat, or coconut milk work well)
  • Maple syrup or agave nectar (3–5 tablespoons, to taste)
  • Vanilla extract (1–2 teaspoons)
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • Optional add-ins: espresso powder, melted dairy-free dark chocolate, almond butter, orange zest, peppermint extract
  • Optional toppings: coconut whipped cream, fresh berries, shaved dark chocolate, chopped nuts, cacao nibs

Method
 

  1. Check your avocados. Choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure and are free of stringy spots. Slice, pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
  2. Add the base ingredients. Add cocoa/cacao powder, plant milk, maple syrup (start with 3 tablespoons), vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Blend until silky. Process on high, stopping to scrape the sides as needed. You’re aiming for a smooth, pudding-like texture with no green flecks.
  4. Taste and adjust. For a deeper chocolate flavor, add more cocoa. For sweetness, add more maple syrup. For a looser texture, add a splash more plant milk. For extra richness, blend in 1–2 tablespoons melted dairy-free dark chocolate or 1 tablespoon almond butter.
  5. Chill for best texture. Spoon into serving dishes and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and the mousse set to a thicker, airier consistency.
  6. Serve with flair. Top with coconut whipped cream, berries, or shaved dark chocolate. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt can brighten the chocolate notes.
