The inspiration for this recipe came to me one day when I was craving something sweet but didn't want to eat anything unhealthy. I had some avocados on hand, and I thought, why not try making a mousse with them? I added coconut milk for creaminess, cocoa powder for chocolate flavor, and honey for sweetness. The result was a delicious and decadent mousse that was also good for me.
