After scrutinizing nearly every avocado in the produce section, you picked out the perfect one … only to let it sit on your counter just a little too long. Now it’s not-so-green and a little mushy, and it feels like you’re about to throw $1.70 straight into the trash can.

Not only is food waste bad for your wallet (and maybe your dinner plans), it’s also bad for the planet. Wasted food accounts for up to 10% of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, according to a 2019 U.N. report.

This easy chocolate mousse recipe is the perfect way to keep your avocados from becoming part of that statistic. That's right, you can make chocolate mousse with overripe avocados. This recipe comes from Waste-Free Kitchen Handbook, by Dana Gunders.
