Avocadomousse Recipes

Steps:

• Place the chocolate chips in a small bowl. Place over a small saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Place the melted chocolate, avocados, agave, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Spoon into glasses and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (can be prepared 1 day in advance). Garnish with fresh raspberries and serve.

Steps:

• Spray 3 (1 cup) or 6 (1/2 cup) ramekins with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Place the cilantro, green onions, cream cheese, salt, lime juice, and chile in a food processor and puree until smooth.
• Pour 1/4 cup water in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it sit for a few minutes. Place the remaining 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour the boiling water over the softened gelatin and whisk until the gelatin has dissolved.
• Add the gelatin to the mixture in the food processor, pulsing until pureed and thoroughly blended. Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. To unmold, fill a large container with very hot water. Dip the ramekins in the water for 1 minute. Run a small, sharp knife tip around the edge of each mousse. Unmold onto a platter. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving. Serve with Crostini.
• Preheat a grill pan or charcoal grill. Using a pastry brush, brush the baguette slices with olive oil. Sprinkle with oregano and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine avocados, yogurt, lime, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender. Pulse together until avocado is totally blended and smooth and consistency is thick and whipped.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Transfer to 4 dessert dishes. Refrigerate until serving, at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Halve and pit avocados and scoop flesh into a food processor. Add lemon juice, milk, sugar, and a pinch salt and puree until completely smooth. In a bowl beat cream until it just holds stiff peaks. Fold avocado mixture into whipped cream gently but thoroughly.

Steps:

• Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small heavy saucepan and let soften 1 minute. Cook over low heat, 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
• Coarsely mash avocados with a fork in a large bowl. Stir in gelatin mixture along with remaining ingredients until combined well.
• Pour mixture into lightly oiled mold and chill, covered tightly with plastic wrap, until firm, at least 4 hours.
• Run tip of a thin knife between mold and mousse. Tilt mold sideways and tap side of mold against a work surface, turning it, to evenly break seal and loosen mousse. Keeping mold tilted, invert a plate over mold, then invert mousse onto plate.

Steps:

• Using a rubber spatula, press avocados through a sieve into a large bowl. Add sherry and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir to combine.
• In a large, chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with remaining 1/2 cup sugar until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into avocado mixture. Divide between meringue shells. Top with one or more garnishes, if desired.
