Ingredients
½ cup bittersweet chocolate chips
4 very ripe large avocados, chopped
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup light agave nectar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon fine salt
⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
Fresh raspberries, for garnish
Instructions
Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof medium bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Add the melted chocolate, chopped avocados, cocoa powder, agave nectar, vanilla extract, salt, and almond milk to a food processor.
Process until the mixture is silky smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Divide the mousse evenly among serving glasses or dessert cups.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 1 day, to allow the mousse to set and chill thoroughly.
Just before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries.
Notes
Use very ripe avocados for the smoothest texture and best flavor.
For a richer chocolate taste, use high-quality bittersweet chocolate chips.
The mousse can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance.
Add shaved dark chocolate, cacao nibs, or whipped coconut cream for an elegant presentation.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
