May 5 is Cinco de Mayo.

May 11 is National Eat What You Want Day.

May 15 is National Chocolate Chip Day. 

Put that together and what do you got? The perfect reason to make chocolate guacamole and chips. 

Guacamole is so yesterday. The snack of the future is chocolate guac scooped up with delicious and crispy Chocolate Chip cookies. 

What is Chocolate Guacamole

Ok, if we're being honest, we're asking you to make a rich, better-for-you mousse. But the base ingredient is avocado, so we think a rebrand to  chocolate guac is better.

How Do You Make Chocolate Guacamole

We've partnered with our friends at Waka Coffee to make a rich and chocolately dip. With just a few additions, you can make it with strong mocha vibes, minty freshness, or whatever flavors you want. 

Ingredients:

• 2 large avocados
• ½ cup coconut milk
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ cup maple syrup (see notes below)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Waka Instant Coffee (see notes below)
• Pinch of Pink Himalayan Salt
• Maxine's Heavenly crispy Chocolate Chip cookies

Directions:

• Just put all of these ingredients into a food processor or high powered blender and mix until smooth.
• Refrigerate for one hour if desired.

Note 1: This mousse is more rich than it is sweet. Combined with the chocolate chip cookies, this is a deeply satisfying pair. However, if you have a real sweet tooth, consider doubling the amount of maple syrup.

Note 2: We put one teaspon of Waka Instant Coffee into our mix, which helps bring out the deep chocolate tones. However, consider doubling that amount to make this more of a mocha dip. If you're not into mocha, try a dash of peppermint extract to make it a mint chocolate dip. If you sub in additional flavoring, you should still keep the teaspoon of coffee in the recipe.
