Tips for the Best Dark Chocolate Avocado Mousse

• Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture—underripe avocados won’t blend as smoothly.
• For a sweeter mousse, add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup or a dash of stevia.
• Want a richer flavor? Use coconut cream instead of almond milk for added creaminess.
• Add extra depth by mixing in a teaspoon of espresso powder or cinnamon.
