Notes
Use very ripe avocados for the smoothest texture and mildest flavor.Maple syrup creates a smoother consistency than granulated sweeteners.Chilling the mousse deepens the flavor and firms the texture.Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.You can freeze the mousse, but thaw in the fridge for best texture.
