Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado: This creamy fruit provides the perfect texture for a mousse, adding a healthy dose of good fats.
- 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder: For that rich, chocolatey flavor.

Instructions:
- Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor. Make sure to use a ripe avocado for the best creamy texture.
- Add Cocoa Powder: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the blender. This is what gives your mousse its intense chocolate flavor.
