# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like pure chocolate decadence but your body actually thanks you for it.
  • Fifteen minutes from craving to serving means no waiting, just rewarding yourself now.
  • Naturally vegan and gluten-free without any weird substitutes or compromises.
02 -
  • Avocado ripeness is everything—rock-hard ones blend grainy, overripe ones taste bitter; aim for that gentle squeeze that gives without collapsing.
  • Chill longer than you think necessary; it transforms from interesting dessert to true mousse in that quiet fridge time.
03 -
  • Use the coldest milk you have straight from the fridge—it helps the mousse set faster and taste colder.
  • If raspberries are out of season or expensive, frozen ones work just as well and sometimes taste more intensely fruity.
