Can you use avocados in desserts?

Yes! Avocados provide a healthy source of omega-3 fatty acids and can be used as a substitute for butter in many cases. Not only do avocados contain healthy fats, but they also are rich in many other nutrients like a natural plant sterol called beta-sitosterol, which helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and many vitamins and minerals.

There are other options to enhance the flavor. You can experiment with adding small amounts of banana or even try cacao butter instead of avocados for the fat.

Making this mousse is incredibly easy, especially with a high speed blender.
