Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or agave syrup)

1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Fresh berries (such as raspberries or strawberries) for garnish

Instructions
 

Blend the Avocados: In a food processor, place the ripe avocados along with the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup (or agave syrup), almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Process the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary to ensure thorough blending.

    Taste and Adjust: Once the mixture is smooth, taste the chocolate avocado cream. If you desire a sweeter flavor, add a little extra maple syrup to taste, and blend again until fully combined.

      Prepare the Cups: Using a spoon, carefully scoop the rich chocolate avocado cream into individual serving cups or small bowls, filling them to the top to create an inviting presentation.

        Chill: Cover each cup with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together beautifully and helps the cream to firm up slightly.

          Finishing Touches: While the cream is chilling, melt the dark chocolate chips. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in short bursts of 15-20 seconds, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.

            Garnish and Serve: After chilling, remove the cups from the refrigerator. Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the top of each chocolate avocado cream cup for a decadent touch. Finally, add fresh berries on top for a delightful pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately and savor this guilt-free dessert!
