# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes decadent and creamy while actually being made of whole foods you can pronounce.
  • Ready in 10 minutes, which means dessert crisis solved before anyone notices you're stressed.
  • Works for almost any dietary restriction—vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free all at once.
02 -
  • If your avocados are even slightly underripe, the mousse will taste grainy no matter how long you blend—always squeeze gently to check before you commit.
  • The chilling step is not optional; it transforms the texture from nice to genuinely mousse-like, and that 30 minutes makes all the difference.
03 -
  • If you want an even airier texture, fold in a few tablespoons of whipped aquafaba or coconut cream after blending—it changes the whole mouthfeel in the best way.
  • Dutch-process cocoa powder makes this noticeably richer and darker; if you're a serious chocolate person, it's worth hunting down.
