Chef's Tips

For a richer chocolate flavor, add a tablespoon of melted dark chocolate (dairy-free if needed).

If you don't have a pre-made Moroccan Tagine spice blend, you can create your own by combining equal parts of ground ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and allspice.

For a smoother mousse, ensure your avocados are very ripe and soft.

This mousse can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For a Dairy-Free version ensure almond milk is used.
