Pistachio Mousse with Avocado
4 servings
480 minutes
This spectacular mousse is incredibly easy to make, you just need to let it freeze properly. Eight hours is no joke, of course, but the wait is worth it - in the end, the dessert acquires an amazing silky texture that you can't achieve with simple whipping. However, the cold is also needed here to give the mousse some resemblance to sorbet, which is a much more exhausting task to prepare.
