Instructions
Prepare the Avocados
Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or high-speed blender. Make sure the avocados are fully ripe and soft for the smoothest result. Discard any brown spots.
Add Remaining Ingredients
Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender with the avocado. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and no green streaks remain, scraping down the sides as needed.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired, or more cocoa for a deeper chocolate flavor. Blend again briefly after any additions to ensure everything is fully combined.
Chill and Serve
Transfer the mousse to serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for best texture. Top with fresh raspberries, shaved chocolate, or coconut whipped cream before serving.
