Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth, about 1 minute total.

  2. Step 2

    Cut avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender. Add the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt.

  3. Step 3

    Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed, about 1–2 minutes. If the mousse is too thick, add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time and blend until you reach a silky, spoonable consistency.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the mousse evenly among four serving glasses or bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or serve immediately for a slightly warmer texture.

  5. Step 5

    Top with a light dusting of cocoa powder, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of fleur de sel before serving. Enjoy the rich, velvety texture while cold.
