1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the melted chocolate, avocados, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup or honey if desired.
- Scoop the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

Notes
For a nutty flavor, add 1 tbsp of almond or peanut butter.
For an extra chocolatey taste, mix in 1 tbsp of cocoa powder.
A pinch of cinnamon or cayenne pepper can add a warm, spiced twist.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
