Avocado and chocolate go well together: Green Chocolate Mousse recipe
MANILA, Philippines — Curious about the name of this recipe?
Well, it is chocolate mousse, a dark chocolate mousse. This delicious dessert whipped up by Chef Celina David for Peotraco answers to the name "Green Chocolate Mousse" because avocado happens to be one of its major ingredients. Now you know why it’s called Green Chocolate Mousse although it remains to be dark brown in color.
But do they — chocolate and avocado — go well together? Oh, yes, they do go very well together, as exhibit-goers found out for themselves during the recently concluded Bakery Fair 2025, where Chef Celina conducted a baking demonstration for Peotraco and showed how Green Chocolate Mousse is made.
Everyone had a taste during the food sampling that came after the demo.
