Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/3 cup maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1/4 cup almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (adjust for desired mintiness)

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Dark chocolate shavings or cocoa nibs (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and pitting the ripe avocados. Make sure they are soft for the best texture in your mousse.

    Blend the Avocados: In a food processor, add the avocados and blend until they are smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

      Add Cocoa and Sweetness: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and a pinch of salt to the food processor. Blend until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is silky smooth.

        Taste and Adjust: Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness or mintiness if desired, adding more maple syrup or peppermint extract as needed. Blend again briefly to incorporate any adjustments.

          Chill the Mousse: Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or bowls. Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.

            Serve: Once chilled, remove from the fridge and garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves and dark chocolate shavings or cocoa nibs for an added crunch.
