Ingredients (for 2-3 servings):

• 1 ripe avocado (about 150 g of pulp)
• 80 g extra dark chocolate (at least 85% cocoa)
• 2-3 tablespoons unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, etc.)
• 2-3 tablespoons IoBoscoVivo erythritol (about 20-30 g, or to taste, adjusting according to desired sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon IoBoscoVivo licorice powder (about 2-3 g, or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
• A pinch of whole sea salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
• For garnish (optional): unsweetened cocoa powder

Preparation:

Break the 80 g of dark chocolate into pieces and melt it gently in a double boiler or microwave. Let it cool slightly.

Scoop out the pulp of 1 ripe avocado (about 150 g).

In a powerful blender, combine the avocado pulp, 80 g of melted chocolate, 2-3 tablespoons of plant-based milk, 2-3 tablespoons of erythritol, 1 teaspoon of licorice powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt.

Blend until you get a smooth, homogeneous, and velvety cream. Taste and adjust the sweetness of the erythritol and the intensity of the licorice.

Distribute the mousse into 2-3 individual dessert cups and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to allow it to firm up slightly.

Garnish with unsweetened cocoa, enjoy!
