Instructions

Step 1: Scoop the flesh from 2 ripe avocados into a food processor, removing pits and skins.
Step 2: Add 3 oz melted dark chocolate, 3 tbsp maple syrup, 3 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 tbsp almond milk, and a pinch of sea salt to the processor.
Step 3: Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed, until no visible avocado bits remain.
Step 4: Transfer the mousse to serving glasses, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and intensify the flavors, or serve immediately for a softer texture.
