Cocoa powder: Cocoa powder intensifies the chocolate flavor.
Maple syrup: For extra sweetness.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Toppings: Feel free to add different toppings like berries, granola, whipped cream, nuts, or shredded coconut.
Food processor: We recommend using a powerful food processor for a super silky smooth chocolate mousse. You might need to scrape down the sides of the food processor every once in a while as you blend.
Ingredients at room temperature: Ensure all the ingredients are at room temperature, like the almond milk and avocados, to avoid the melted chocolate from hardening.

This was so good and did not leave that after taste of avocado! I used dark chocolate that had been flavoured with orange and oat milk instead of almond. I will definitely make it again! Thank you for posting this recipe.
