Cacao Avocado Mousse with Berries
Method
Prepare the Mousse: Begin by halving and removing the stones from the ripe avocados. Scoop out the flesh and place it in a blender or food processor. Add the raw cacao powder, maple syrup (or runny honey for a different sweetness profile), vanilla extract, and unsweetened almond milk. Blend the ingredients on a medium speed until they form a smooth and creamy mousse. Scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Chill the Mousse: Once the mousse reaches a silky, pudding-like consistency, spoon it evenly into individual serving dishes. Cover the dishes with cling film or a lid, and place them in the refrigerator. Let the mousse chill for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavours to meld and the texture to firm up.
Prepare the Garnish: Just before serving, wash and dry an assortment of fresh berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries. These will add a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate flavour of the mousse.
Serve: Remove the chilled mousse from the refrigerator and garnish each serving with a handful of fresh berries. You can also sprinkle a few cacao nibs or crushed nuts over the top for extra texture if desired. Serve immediately for a decadent and nutritious dessert.
