  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness or chili level as desired.
  4. Pour the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set and the flavors to meld.
