# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in minutes with no oven, no stovetop, and no cleanup beyond rinsing a blender.
  • The mousse tastes intensely chocolatey while sneaking in healthy fats and fiber you actually feel good about eating.
02 -
  • If your avocados have any brown spots inside, scoop them out completely or the mousse will taste bitter and look streaky.
  • Dont over blend or the mixture heats up slightly and loses that cool creamy texture, stop as soon as its smooth.
03 -
  • Use a high speed blender instead of a food processor if you want the absolute silkiest texture with zero graininess.
  • Chill your serving glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before filling them so the mousse stays cold longer and feels extra refreshing.
