Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a food processor, combine 2 medium ripe avocados, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  2. Step 2: Spoon half of the chocolate avocado mousse evenly into 4 small serving glasses or bowls.
  3. Step 3: Distribute 1 cup fresh raspberries evenly over the mousse layer, pressing them gently into the mousse.
  4. Step 4: Top with the remaining chocolate mousse, covering the raspberries to create hidden layers.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate the mousse for at least 1 hour to set and chill before serving. Garnish each serving with 2 tbsp dark chocolate shavings if desired.
