The avocado's main purpose is to create the creamy texture inherent to mousses. It also delivers those great monounsaturated fats that kids need to grow. In order to make the best live mousse possible, use avocadoes that have just ripened. If the avocados are overripe or under-ripe, the avocado flavor will be evident.
