Avocado Mousse
Smooth, creamy, and indulgent mousse made with avocado, non-dairy yogurt or sour cream, and cilantro.
Equipment
- high speed blender
Ingredients
- 1 hass avocado
- ½ cup Non-dairy Yogurt or Vegan Sour Cream
- 2 limes juiced (2 Tbsp)
- 3 Tbsp cilantro
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- ¼ tsp cayenne
- ¼ tsp salt optional
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender.
- Process on high speed until smooth and creamy.
- When you’re ready to serve, spoon a dollop of avocado mousse atop your featured recipe and serve.
- To store, transfer the avocado mousse to an air-tight container. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to discourage discoloration resulting from oxidation.
Notes
This mousse should be made the day it’s being served. While it doesn’t oxidize as quickly as fresh avocados or guacamole, the gorgeous vibrant green hue does diminish over time. It’s best enjoyed within 12 hours.
I have successfully reheated these Black Bean Plantain Cups with Avocado Mousse fully intact. The cups, beans, taco filling, and mousse all held up well in the microwave and oven. That being said, I still recommend waiting to top the mousse until just before serving.
