Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or honey for non-vegans)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup almond milk (or milk of choice; adjust for consistency)

Optional toppings: crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or fresh berries

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Begin by cutting the ripe avocados in half, carefully removing the pit. Use a spoon to scoop the creamy flesh into a mixing bowl, discarding the skins.

    Blend Ingredients: With a fork or a hand mixer, mash the avocado until it’s smooth and creamy, free of any lumps. Next, incorporate the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup (or honey), pure vanilla extract, sea salt, and almond milk into the bowl.

      Mix Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a lusciously creamy consistency. If you find the spread too thick, slowly add more almond milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your preferred texture.

        Taste and Adjust: Take a moment to taste your chocolate avocado spread. If you’d like it sweeter, feel free to stir in additional maple syrup. Blend again briefly if any adjustments are made to ensure uniformity in sweetness.

          Chill and Serve: Transfer your beautifully blended spread into a glass jar or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes; this will allow the flavors to meld together and enhance the taste.

            Enjoy: Serve chilled as a decadent topping on whole grain bread, as a delightful dip for fresh fruits, or simply enjoy straight from the jar! For added visual and textural appeal, sprinkle with crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or top with fresh berries.
