Instructions:
- Start by washing the avocados and the lemon thoroughly.
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Zest the lemon using a fine grater or a zester until you have approximately 2 tablespoons of zest.
- Using a fork or a hand blender, mash the avocado flesh until it’s smooth and creamy. If you prefer a smoother texture, a hand blender or food processor will give the best results.
- Add the 1/4 cup of sugar to the mashed avocado. Mix well until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Gently fold in the 2 tablespoons of lemon zest. Be sure to distribute it evenly throughout the mousse for a consistent lemony flavor.
- Transfer the mousse into serving dishes or ramekins. Cover them with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent any unwanted flavors from seeping in.
- Place the dishes in the refrigerator and allow the mousse to chill for at least 1 hour. Chilling helps the flavors meld together and gives the mousse a more refreshing consistency.
- Once properly chilled, remove the mousse from the refrigerator.
- Optionally, garnish with a small pinch of extra lemon zest or a mint leaf for added visual appeal.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing and light dessert!
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch for the best texture.
- Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to enhance the flavors.
- You can use a blender or food processor to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a thin slice of lemon or a sprinkle of lemon zest before serving.
