Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe avocados (about 1 cup when mashed)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • Optional toppings: a sprinkle of sea salt, fresh berries, or shredded coconut

Instructions:

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  2. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocados until smooth. You can also use a food processor for a creamier texture.
  3. Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the mashed avocados.
  4. If you used a bowl, mix with a whisk until fully combined and fluffy. If you have a food processor, blend until the mixture is creamy and well incorporated.
  5. Taste the dip and add more maple syrup if youd like it sweeter. Blend again to incorporate any additions.
  6. Transfer the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with optional toppings like a sprinkle of sea salt or fresh berries.
