2. Blend Until Smooth:
Blend the mixture until it's smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender or processor as needed. The mousse should have a rich chocolate color and a velvety texture.
3. Taste and Adjust:
Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding a bit more maple syrup or honey. Blend again to combine.
4. Chill:
Transfer the dark chocolate avocado mousse to serving dishes or glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to chill.
5. Serve:
Once chilled, remove the mousse from the refrigerator. If desired, top the mousse with shaved dark chocolate, a dollop of whipped coconut cream, and fresh berries before serving.
