FAQ
Can I make this without a blender?
A food processor works well, or you can mash very ripe avocados by hand and whisk vigorously, though the texture won't be as smooth.
How long will this mousse keep?
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The avocado may start to oxidize after that, affecting color and flavor.
Can I freeze this mousse?
Freezing isn't recommended as avocados don't freeze well and the texture will become grainy and separated when thawed.
