Instructions:
- Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Place the avocado flesh into a food processor or blender.
- Add 1/3 cup (50g) of dry cocoa powder to the food processor.
- Pour in 2 tsp (8g) of vanilla extract to add a rich flavor to the mousse.
- Add 2 tbsp (30g) of maple syrup for natural sweetness.
- Add 1/3 cup (72g) of coconut milk. This will help achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
- Blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything is well combined.
- Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness or cocoa powder if necessary. If you prefer a sweeter mousse, you can add a bit more maple syrup.
- Transfer the blended mousse into serving dishes or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let it firm up and enhance the flavors.
- Serve chilled. You can optionally garnish with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or a mint leaf for an extra touch.

- Blend all ingredients thoroughly to avoid any lumps and achieve a creamy consistency.
