This easy recipe starts out simply with making the torte.

You will definitely be tempted to eat this mousse, it is like pudding in your mouth.

The longer the cake sits out the more the avocado will taste because of it coming to room temperature. Don’t leave it out, just stick it back in the freezer between servings.
