# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get that velvety, expensive chocolate mousse texture without any heavy cream or eggs
  • It comes together in under ten minutes but tastes like something from a fancy patisserie
02 -
  • Stop blending when you see zero green specks, otherwise the texture never becomes completely luxurious
  • Cold avocados from the fridge blend into a thicker mousse than room temperature ones
03 -
  • If your avocados are slightly underripe, add another tablespoon of milk and blend longer
  • Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly than cold ones
