Chocolate Avocado Mousse

1/4 cup maple syrup or stevia to taste (or sub 3-4 pitted medjool dates)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
A pinch of Himalayan salt
Serves 4

Tips & Notes~
This recipe is good if it is chilled. If you are eating right away put the avocados in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
You can add a banana for some natural sweetness and to mask the slight avocado flavor or you can substitute one of the avocados for a whole large banana to cut the richness but you might want to decrease the sweetener.
Top with some chopped up nuts, toasted coconut or some berries!
