01 -

It tastes indulgent and fudgy while actually nourishing your body with healthy fats and real chocolate.
Ready in fifteen minutes with zero cooking, making it perfect for when you need dessert but have no patience.
Impresses people who have no idea avocado is doing the heavy lifting.

02 -

The mousse will separate slightly if you over-blend it after adding milk; blend just until smooth and stop there, even if a tiny fleck of cocoa powder remains.
The chill time firms things up just enough to feel like a proper dessert instead of a thick pudding, and thirty minutes is genuinely the minimum—longer is fine and often better.

03 -

Make this the morning of your dinner party and chill all day—the flavors deepen and meld, and you'll have one less thing to think about when guests arrive.
Use a peeler to make your chocolate shavings thin and delicate; thick chips look homemade in a less polished way, and thin shavings make it feel like you really tried.
