Notes
- * It is important to choose a perfectly ripe avocado. If the avocado is too hard, it will be like blending rocks. If it is too mushy, it will throw the taste of the mousse off.
- Dutch-processed cocoa powder is milder and less acidic than natural cocoa powder.
- You can skip the salt.
- Adjust the taste after you have processed the ingredients-add more cocoa or sweetener since the size of avocados vary.
- You can use water instead of non-dairy milk
- This recipe can be made a few hours ahead but should be consumed the day it is made.
- You can freeze this pudding for an icy treat.
