Tip: Hot peppers can vary in spice levels, or Scoville heat units (SHU). For a milder avocado mousse, leave out some of the serrano pepper or use a pepper with less heat, like an Anaheim pepper.

Hot peppers cause severe skin and eye irritation. Wear disposable gloves when handling hot peppers and avoid touching any exposed skin.
