I love the fact that Tess uses avocados as the “butter” base. The texture of that alone is creamy and delectable for the mouth. Adding the ginger and nutmeg also give a little kick to it and as she says “a fall feeling”. Those spices always smell delightful as well as taste wonderful. Let this cranberry mousse be the first for your palate this Thanksgiving!! It could be a sensational side as part of your meal that will trigger joy in the faces of your guests!!
WOW! This recipe was a HUGE SURPRISE!!!! I had no idea what to expect and was totally blown away by how delicious this was!!!!! The avocado gives this dessert a great texture – And the orange zest, ginger and spices make this an incredibly original winter treat!!!!!! Cranberries rock! I LOVE this and will definitely be making lots of it over the festive season!!!!!! Spicy, me likey!!!!!!!!!;)
Being a big cranberry fan….This is amazing. The flavours are perfect together. I notice that cranberry has been a theme lately. Can’t wait to tuck into the other recipes.
Thank you for the beautiful holiday recipe that uses avocados! We grow avocados on our family farm and love to post unusual recipes on our Facebook page. Today we’ll include a link to your post! Great idea!
Hey Mimi
You are living my DREAM!
An avocado farm! I am in HEAVEN!
Thanks for sharing this recipe today.
I really appreciate it.
Great to be connected 🙂
LOL! I am glad you are all enjoying this recipe.
I really love it and it is SO easy!
This is a gorgeous recipe! I’m one of those folks with a love/hate relationship when it comes to cooking or un-cooking, nothing with more than 3 steps max and this is perfect! I’m going to make this for my Winter Solstice/Yule feast! You’re a marvel miss Tess 😉
Hey Maddy
WONDERFUL! I can’t wait to hear what you think.
Happy Holidays 🙂
I love cranberries and this recipe makes them the star! There is just right amount of heat, sweet and tart. I liked eating it while it’s still a little warm from the blender. It is the holidays personified but amazing enough to eat year round for sure!
Stace!
My piggy partner in crime for this one!
It wouldn’t have the magic without you.
Love you xxx
Can I make this in a food processor? My regular blender died and I am saving up to get a vitamix. 🙂

I haven’t tried to make this in a food processor.
The taste would be the same, but you wouldn’t get the silky smooth consistency you can get with a high speed blender.
However, I just got Breville Sous Chef food processor and that thing is AMAZING.
So give it a go!
Please let me know what the results are like.
Hi Tess, I love this recipe for orange cranberry mousse! I just got some fresh cranberries at the farmers market and I will make your mousse this week. Thanks for sharing 🙂

So glad you enjoyed this.
