To make sure it turns out perfectly
Only ripe avocados give a smooth, creamy mousse.
Turn the tart out onto the platter before decorating. After that, it is hard to move.
Covered, the mousse keeps for 3 days in the fridge and tastes great on bread.
Frequently asked questions
We used a crown-shaped Tart tin with a removable base. A round Tart tin Ø 26 cm works too.
Replace the salmon with grilled vegetables or feta.
Make the base and the sponge the day before. Make the mousse and decorations on the day of the apero.
