Ingredients

2 ripe medium Hass avocados
2 Tbsp almond milk, or coconut, or cashew, etc. (you can also use regular milk if you like)
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
2-3 Tbsp sweetener of your choice (honey, maple, agave, etc.)
Big pinch of salt
1/4 tsp urfa chili flakes, or to taste, plus more for garnish
1 ounce of dark chocolate, for more flavor use one of our chocolate bars or some of our hot chocolate chips

Directions

Slice the avocados into quarters, pit and peel, then add to a blender or food processor with all the remaining ingredients except the chocolate, and process until smooth.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Add the melted chocolate to the mousse and process until well incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness to your tastes, remember that it will taste slightly less sweet when chilled.
Spoon into serving cups and refrigerate, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Top with additional chili and coarse flaky salt, if desired.
