Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados (peeled and pitted)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
- 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1-3 Tbsp. plant milk (to help blend)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1/4 tsp. almond extract (or more)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a food processor. Blend for about 30 seconds or until smooth. (Scrape down sides if needed.) Start with 1 Tbsp. milk and add more if needed.
- Place in small cups or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before enjoying.*
Cup of Yum
Notes
- *Chilling: Right after blending, you will still be able to slightly taste the avocado. However, after it chills in the fridge for a few hours, I find it's not detectable anymore. Just smooth, rich, chocolate-flavored goodness.
- Optional toppings: Fresh raspberries or strawberries, banana, coconut whipped cream, or chopped/shaved chocolate.
- Servings: This recipe yields about 2 cups mousse. So it makes 4 medium-large servings of about 1/2 cup each. Or you could stretch it to 8 small servings of 1/4 cup each.
