Ingredients

2 ripe avocados, pitted and flesh scooped out
60 g unsweetened cocoa powder
80 g maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
60 ml plant-based milk (e.g., almond or oat milk)
250 g fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, for serving
10 g dark chocolate (70%+), for shaving (optional garnish)

Instructions

Hull and slice the fresh strawberries. Set them aside for garnish.
Place the avocado flesh, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pinch of salt, and plant-based milk into the Thermomix bowl.
Blend 30 sec / Speed 8. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula.
Repeat blending for another 30 sec / Speed 8, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Ensure no avocado lumps remain.
Divide the mousse evenly into 4 serving glasses or bowls. Cover them and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to firm up and the flavours to meld.
Before serving, top the chilled chocolate mousse with the prepared fresh strawberries. If desired, shave a little dark chocolate over the top for an elegant garnish.
