How to Make Avocado Mousse

  1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold broth. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Gently heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in the white wine vinegar, minced shallot, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside to cool.
  4. In a food processor or with an immersion blender, blend the peeled avocados until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. In a separate bowl, gently combine 2 cups of the avocado puree with the cooled gelatin mixture and mayonnaise.
  6. Season with salt and hot sauce to taste (if using).
  7. Gently fold in the whipped cream until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Pour the mixture into a 6-cup mold or individual serving dishes.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm and set.
