The method

Step by step

  1. 1

    Combine the avocado, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, plant milk, and sea salt in a food processor or high-speed blender.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: Ensure avocados are very ripe for the smoothest texture.

  2. 2

    Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

    About 3 min

    Cook’s note: Continue blending until no avocado lumps remain, which may take a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a little more maple syrup.

    About 1 min

  4. 4

    Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or glasses.

    About 1 min

  5. 5

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to firm up and flavors to meld.

    About 30 min

    Cook’s note: Chilling also helps to enhance the creamy texture.

  6. 6

    Garnish with fresh berries before serving, if using.
