Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a food processor, blend 2 peeled and pitted ripe avocados with 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the mousse into serving bowls or glasses and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup fresh raspberries, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp water. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Step 4: Strain the raspberry sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, pressing with a spoon to extract all juice.
  5. Step 5: Spoon the raspberry sauce over the chilled chocolate-avocado mousse just before serving for a colorful, tangy contrast.
