Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add the avocados, cacao, maple syrup, coconut milk, vanilla, and salt to a food processor.
  2. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides a few times — you want no avocado flecks.
  3. Taste and add a little more maple syrup if you like it sweeter.
  4. Spoon into small cups and chill at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Top with berries or a few dark chocolate shavings.

Tips

  • Very ripe avocados blend the smoothest and have the mildest flavor.
  • A splash more coconut milk loosens it if your food processor struggles.
