CHOCOLATE AVOCADO MOUSSE
Steps:
- In a blender, combine the avocado, cocoa powder, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Blend on medium until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender often. Increase the speed to high and blend about 30 seconds to lighten the mousse.
- Spoon into 2 serving glasses or cups. If you have the time, chill in the refrigerator until cold, about an hour. If not, enjoy right away with the toppings of your choice and garnish with Coconut Whipped Cream if desired.
- Remove the can of coconut milk from the refrigerator without shaking it. Open the can, scrape out the solidified coconut cream from the top and put it in a mixing bowl. (Save the liquid in the bottom of the can for a smoothie.) Whip the coconut cream with an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar or other sweetener to taste. Whip again and serve.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE-AVOCADO MOUSSE WITH MEZCAL WHIPPED CREAM
Steps:
- For the mousse: Gently warm the almond milk in a small saucepan. Add the chocolate and cook, stirring, until melted. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In a blender, add the cocoa powder, agave, chile de arbol, vanilla, salt and avocados, and puree until silky smooth. With the motor on low speed, slowly add the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into a large bowl or individual glasses or ramekins, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- For the whipped cream: Meanwhile, add the cream and agave to a large mixing bowl and whisk until lightly thickened and holding soft peaks. Mix in the mezcal and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Serve the mousse with dollops of the whipped cream.
Tips:
- For a richer mousse, use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
- Make sure the avocado is ripe for a smooth and creamy mousse.
- Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Top the mousse with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries before serving.
- Use a high-powered blender or food processor to get a smooth and creamy mousse.
- If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mash the avocado and chocolate together by hand, but it will take longer to get a smooth consistency.
- If you want a sweeter mousse, add more honey or maple syrup to taste.
