Ingredients
- —2 ripe avocados
- —3 tbsp cocoa powder
- —3 tbsp maple syrup
- —1 tsp vanilla extract
- —4 tbsp almond milk
- —pinch of salt
Method
- 01Mash the ripe avocado with a fork or blend until completely smooth — no lumps. The riper the avocado, the creamier the result.
- 02Add the cocoa, maple syrup, vanilla, almond milk and a pinch of salt. Blend again until silky and smooth — the mousse should be thick, like a chocolate cream.
- 03Refrigerate for 30 minutes — the mousse will firm up slightly and chill through. Serve with berries.
Why this works
Avocado provides monounsaturated fats and magnesium essential for progesterone and cortisol regulation; cocoa flavanols support mood via serotonin precursors.
