Tips & Warnings
You can determine whether an avocado is ripe by placing it lengthwise between your thumb and fingers and squeezing gently. A ripe avocado should be slightly soft.
Don't substitute soft tofu for the silken tofu in this recipe. Soft tofu is much more solid than the silken tofu and makes your chocolate mousse too firm.
