Notes
Use avocados that are ripe and soft to the touch for a creamy, smooth texture without any lumps. Overripe avocados that are brown inside might affect the flavor negatively.
Let the mousse chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the mousse to set to the right consistency.
