- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions:
- Blend the Base:
Scoop the avocado flesh into a blender or food processor. Add cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. - Blend Until Smooth:
Blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed. Adjust sweetness by adding a bit more maple syrup if desired. Note: I use unsweetened maple syrup substitute to cut back on the sugar content. - Chill (Optional):
Transfer the mousse into serving bowls and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavours to meld and the texture to firm up slightly. - Serve:
Top with fresh berries, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, or a few coconut flakes for added texture and flavour.
