Do you ever find yourself having 1000 avocados in your kitchen that are going to turn into literal garbage if they’re not consumed by tomorrow? This is how this recipe came about: I had a few avocados hanging around that were absolutely ripe and ready to eat. I really didn’t feel like making anything with them that day, but I didn’t feel like wasting them either, so, I threw all of them into a blender and whipped them for a few minutes. Voilà: avocado mousse! It turned out to have such a smooth and silky texture – it can be used as a healthier substitute to mayo, as an addition to sandwiches, avocado toasts and who knows what else?!

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • juice of 1/4 lemon (or 1/2 if you prefer it tangier)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt

Instructions

Add all the ingredients into a blender or food processor. Whip them up for 2-5 minutes, until the mixture gets a silky, smooth and fluffy texture with no lumps. Spread it on toast, use it as a dip, add it to your salads or sandwiches. The mousse should be stored in the fridge and it will last even up to a week, as long as you’ve added lemon juice while whipping it.

You may have seen my work on TV, Food Network, NYT Cooking, Food52 and more. I make recipes more fun and accessible for home cooks. I immigrated to the US from Transylvania, Romania—where I lived most of my life—in 2021 to pursue my passion for cooking full-time. Here you’ll find a collection of approachable recipes, from weeknight dinners to desserts, you’ll come back to over and over again. Some of my most popular recipes include my chicken paprikash, orange chicken roast with fennel and shallots or butter beans all vodka. Some recipes are inspired by my Romanian-Hungarian upbringing, and most definitely all come with that Transylvanian resourcefulness!
