The Method

1
Combine all ingredients (avocados, cocoa powder, honey/maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and chili powder if using) in a blender or food processor.
2
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add more almond milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
3
Taste and adjust sweetness or spices as needed. Add more honey/maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter mousse, or more cinnamon/chili powder for a spicier flavor.
4
Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or glasses.
5
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to chill and firm up slightly. This step is optional, but recommended.
6
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder.

If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mash the avocado very well with a fork and then whisk in the remaining ingredients by hand.

This mousse can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Pair this mousse with spicy enchiladas or other hearty Mexican dishes for a balanced and satisfying meal.
