Frequently Asked Questions
Can you taste the avocado? Not at all! The rich chocolate flavor completely masks the avocado taste. You’ll only notice the incredible creamy texture.
How long does this keep? Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The mousse may darken slightly due to oxidation, but it’s still perfectly safe and delicious.
Can I make this sweeter? Yes! Add more maple syrup or honey to taste. You can also add a few pitted dates to the blend for natural sweetness.
Is this really healthy? While it’s a dessert, it’s made with wholesome ingredients. Avocados provide healthy fats, fiber, and nutrients. It’s a much better choice than traditional mousse!
