Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a food processor, combine the flesh of 2 medium ripe avocados with 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the mousse to serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and texture to firm up.
  3. Step 3: While the mousse chills, heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast 1/3 cup shredded coconut and 1/4 cup sliced almonds with 1/8 tsp sea salt for 3-4 minutes until golden and fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Step 4: Remove the coconut-almond mixture from heat and let cool.
  5. Step 5: Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted coconut crumble over the chilled mousse to add a satisfying crunch contrast to the silky texture.
