Author Notes
Being a connissiour of all things French and a proclaimed dessert addict, Entremets hold a cherished place in my heart, as these delicacies deserve to have. I find that avocado's creaminess blends really really well with dark chocolate creating an very interesting 'milk' chocolate experience. These entremets are layered with chocolate, orange and avocado mousses and encased in biscuit jaconde. You can also simply serve them in cups.
I have included below my original recipes for the avocado and orange mousses. Use your favorite chocolate mousse recipe. —Asha
