  • Taste the mousse and, if needed, add a bit more honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness, but keep it minimal to maintain a low carb count.

Cooking Tips

  • Blend Smoothly: Ensure the avocado is fully ripe for a creamy texture; under-ripe avocado can result in a chunky mousse.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mousse before chilling and add a touch more sweetener if needed. Try using a low-carb sweetener like stevia or erythritol to reduce sugar impact further.
  • Add Flavour Layers: A dash of cinnamon or a few drops of coffee extract can enhance the chocolate flavour without added sugar.
  • Chill for Texture: Allowing the mousse to chill for at least an hour improves the texture, giving it a thicker, creamier consistency.
