Ingredients

• 2 whole ripe avocados
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon gelatin
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the gelatin mixture. In a small bowl, combine the gelatin with the cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

While the gelatin is blooming, cut the avocados in half, remove the seeds, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add fresh lime juice, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Set it aside.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the bloomed gelatin until it completely dissolves. Avoid boiling as this can affect the gelatin's setting properties.

Step 5

Add the melted gelatin into the avocado mixture in the blender and blend for another 30 seconds to combine thoroughly.

Step 6

In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Carefully fold the avocado mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula to maintain the mousse's light texture.

Step 7

Once combined, spoon the avocado mousse into serving glasses or bowls.

Step 8

Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing it to set completely.

Step 9

Before serving, sprinkle a little grated lime zest over each portion and add finely chopped mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
