Recipe Tips
Use Ripe Avocados – Make sure your avocados are soft and fully ripe for the smoothest, creamiest texture.
Blend Until Silky – A high-speed blender or food processor ensures a lump-free, mousse-like consistency.
Adjust Sweetness – Taste as you go and add more maple syrup or a date for extra natural sweetness.
Enhance the Flavor – A pinch of espresso powder or cinnamon deepens the chocolate richness.
Chill for Best Texture – Letting it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes makes it even thicker and more pudding-like!
