Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado pitted and peeled
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder high-quality Dutch-processed for richer flavor
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk of choice
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup adjust to desired sweetness
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract enhances the chocolate notes
- 1 pinch sea salt to balance the richness
- 1 cup ice cubes for a chilled, thick consistency
- 1 tbsp dark chocolate shavings optional garnish
Notes
For a thicker, spoonable mousse, reduce the almond milk to 1/2 cup. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; if oxidation occurs, simply stir before consuming. To make this keto-friendly, substitute the maple syrup with 2-3 drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
