I tried making this mousse before but without the yoghurt and it didn't quite sit right with me. I think the addition of the yoghurt would definitely add a delicious creaminess to it that would make the combination work beautifully.

I refuse to eat avocado, my husband is obsessed with them and I just can't cope with the texture. That said, in a chocolate mousse I would be all over it! I am so going to try this, it would be a great way to get the goodness of the avocado in!
Emily Leary says
I hope that you do decide to give this recipe a go! Let me know what you think!
Whatlauraloves says
YUM! I wonder if this would work well with dairy free yoghurt? xxx
Emily Leary says
I'm not sure. It's the thickness and creaminess of the Onken that makes it extra special.

Nice post. I've tried that before and skipped the yogurt. So yummy!
