I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and delicious way to use up some ripe avocados. I had been experimenting with different vegan desserts, and I was looking for something that was both creamy and chocolatey. I started by combining avocado, cocoa powder, and maple syrup in a blender, and I was amazed at how smooth and creamy the mixture became. I added a few other ingredients to round out the flavor, and this mousse was born. I've been making it ever since, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
