How to Make Avocado Mousse
- In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold broth. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.

- In a food processor or with an immersion blender, blend the peeled avocados until completely smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, gently combine 2 cups of the avocado puree with the cooled gelatin mixture and mayonnaise.
- Season with salt and hot sauce to taste (if using).
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm and set.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
