-
2Blend Silky Smooth: Blend on high for 60–90 seconds until completely smooth and velvety. Scrape down the sides of the jar as needed. Taste and add a touch more sweetener if desired.
-

-
4Garnish & Serve: Top with fresh raspberries, thin avocado slices, dark chocolate shavings, or crushed nuts. Serve cold and enjoy!
Notes & Tips
- 🥑 Soft Ripe Avocados: Ensure your avocados yield gently to pressure. Underripe avocados will result in a grainy texture and subtle bitter taste.
- 🍫 Quality Cocoa Powder: Dutch-processed cocoa powder produces the deepest, richest flavor with zero harsh bitterness.
- 🧂 Sea Salt Balancing: Don’t skip the sea salt! A tiny pinch enhances the cocoa and cuts through the natural fat of the avocado.
- ❄️ Make-Ahead Storage: Keep mousse covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. The chocolate flavor actually deepens overnight!
