Helpful Tips
- Ensure the avocados are ripe for the best creamy texture. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a small amount of melted dark chocolate to the blend.
- If you’re serving this to guests, prepare the mousse the night before to save time on the day of your event.
- This mousse can be suited for people with different dietary preferences by using agave syrup instead of honey and coconut milk instead of almond milk.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover chocolate avocado mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving as it may thicken as it chills.
