# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It feels like eating dark chocolate silk, but you can have seconds without guilt.
  • No oven means no waiting around, just blend and enjoy.
  • Avocados give it a richness that dairy never quite achieves.
02 -
  • Overripe avocados will turn the mousse brown within hours, so use them fresh and serve the same day.
  • If your blender isn't strong, add the almond milk slowly or the mixture will stay chunky.
03 -
  • Chill your serving glasses beforehand so the mousse sets faster and feels more elegant.
  • If you want it sweeter without adding more syrup, use a touch of stevia or blend in a few pitted dates.
