Steps:
- Make mousse:
- Lightly oil ramekins and line bottoms with wax paper or parchment, then oil paper.
- Quarter, pit, and peel 2 avocados. Purée avocado quarters with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, vitamin C, and salt in a food processor until smooth.

- Halve, pit, and peel remaining avocado. Cut into 1/4-inch dice and toss with remaining teaspoon lemon juice in a small bowl. Beat cream in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until it just holds soft peaks. Fold in avocado purée gently but thoroughly, then fold in diced avocado. Spoon mousse into ramekins, smoothing tops. Cover surface of each mousse with a piece of plastic wrap, then cover ramekins with plastic wrap. Chill mousse until set, at least 2 hours.

- Unmold mousse by running a knife around edge of each ramekin, then invert each onto a plate, discarding paper. Serve with relish.
TOMATO MOUSSE
I made this as an appetizer, but if you would like to make it as a dessert, please increase the amount of sweetener. For this recipe, you need to peel the tomatoes to create smooth, creamy texture. If you don't know how to peel tomatoes, please Google "How to peel tomatoes." For more healthy, gluten-free, pesco-vegetarian recipes, please visit my blog, www.innerharmonynutrition.com.

MOZZARELLA MOUSSE, TOMATO TARTARE AND PEARL BASIL
Steps:
- 1 Fill a small bowl of sunflower oil (for example) and place it in the freezer a few hours before. 2 Soften the gelatin in cold water. Coarsely chop the mozzarella cheese, then add the lemon zest, olive oil, salt and pepper. Heat 1.5 cl whey filtered through a coffee filter to melt into the softened gelatine. Mix the rest then finely chop the mixture in a blender. Install the white snow and incorporate mozzarella. Garnish the top third of glasses and refrigerate for at least an hour. 3 Place the tomatoes a few minutes in hot water. Peel the tomatoes, remove the seeds, rinse under water and cut into small cubes. Chop the onion, crush the garlic and add to the tomatoes. Add olive oil and balsamic cream vinegar and season. Refrigerate. 4 Bring to boil water and agar. Add the basil leaves and stir until they are cooked, then use the hand blender. Remove the oil frozen in the freezer. Fill the syringe with the juice of basil, and drop frozen in oil, drop by drop. Rinse basil ball under water using a small strainer, drain and leave them on the jar
Tips:
- For a smoother mousse, use a food mill or chinois to strain the tomatoes before pureeing them.
- If you don't have a blowtorch, you can brown the tops of the mousses with a kitchen torch or under a preheated broiler.
- For a vegetarian version of this recipe, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Serve the tomato mousse immediately, or chill it for later.
- Garnish the mousse with fresh herbs, such as basil, chives, or parsley.
