Instructions

Step 1: Cut 1 medium ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Step 2: Add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 3 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3: Spoon the chocolate avocado mousse evenly into two small serving cups or ramekins. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 4: Before serving, sprinkle 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips over each pot for a crunchy garnish, if desired.
