Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 2 peeled ripe avocados (about 300g) into a food processor along with 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the mousse into 4 small serving bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut and toast, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat immediately to avoid burning.
  4. Step 4: Before serving, sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly over each mousse bowl for a crunchy, nutty contrast to the creamy chocolate.
  5. Step 5: Serve chilled and enjoy a guilt-free, rich dessert that’s dairy-free and vegan.
