Step 1
Cut the 2 ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Step 2
Add the 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons water to the blender.
Step 3
Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa if desired, blending briefly to combine.
Step 5
Spoon the mousse into serving bowls or glasses. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, if you prefer a firmer texture.
Step 6
Serve chilled or at room temperature, topped with fresh berries or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if you like.
