  • Ready in ten minutes with zero cooking required
  • Naturally vegan and gluten-free without sacrificing any richness
02 -
  • Make sure your avocados are perfectly ripe or you'll end up with chunky mousse no matter how long you blend
  • The chilling time is not optional since it completely transforms the texture from fluffy pudding to silky mousse
