Instructions

In a food processor or blender, combine the avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup (or honey), almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt.

Spoon the mousse into small bowls or glasses. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set.
Before serving, garnish with fresh berries, shredded coconut, or chocolate shavings, if desired. Enjoy!
