Cuisine: French
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup raspberries
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

1. In a food processor or blender, combine avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, mashing berries with a spoon, until mixture thickens slightly.
3. Divide the avocado mousse evenly among four small bowls or ramekins.
4. Top each with raspberry coulis. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Suggested Drinks

Pinot Noir: The light body and red fruit flavors of Pinot Noir complement the chocolate without overwhelming the avocado's creaminess.

Crémant de Bourgogne: A sparkling wine from Burgundy, its delicate bubbles and fruity notes complement the richness of the chocolate mousse.

Non-Alcoholic Option

Raspberry Iced Tea: The tartness of raspberry iced tea cuts through the richness of the mousse and provides a refreshing contrast.
