Instructions

  1. Step 1: Peel and pit 2 large ripe avocados, discarding pits. Melt 4 oz dark chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water (do not let water touch chocolate) until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a food processor, combine avocado flesh, melted chocolate, 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Blend on medium speed for 2 minutes until completely smooth with no visible avocado chunks.
  3. Step 3: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with an additional 1 tbsp maple syrup if needed (quality check for balance). Transfer to serving dishes and refrigerate for exactly 2 hours to set.
  4. Step 4: Before serving, garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder (1/4 tsp per serving) to ensure consistent appearance, then serve chilled.
