This Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse is a delightful treat that combines creamy avocado with decadent dark chocolate and a kick of chili powder for a surprising twist on a classic dessert.

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe avocados (about 400g)
• 150g dark chocolate, chopped

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• for garnish: chili flakes

Kitchen Tools:

To make this Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse, start by melting the dark chocolate. Place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a food processor, combine the ripe avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, chili powder, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the melted chocolate and pulse until well combined.

Divide the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Before serving, sprinkle with chili flakes for an extra kick of spice.

Unique Tip: For an even creamier texture, try chilling the avocado mousse in the refrigerator overnight before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a truly decadent dessert experience.

I hope you give this Spicy Chocolate Avocado Mousse a try and enjoy the rich flavors and unexpected combination of ingredients. Feel free to customize it by adjusting the level of spiciness to suit your taste preferences. Happy cooking!
