Instructions
- Step 1: Scoop 2 ripe avocados into a food processor, add 3 oz melted dark chocolate, 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt; process for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and glossy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Step 2: Divide the avocado mousse evenly into 4 dessert glasses. Gently fold 1/2 cup fresh raspberries into a small bowl of the remaining mousse (about 1/4 of the mixture), then dollop the raspberry mousse on top of each glass.
- Step 3: Use a toothpick to swirl the raspberry mousse through the chocolate mousse, creating a marbled effect. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to set.
