  1. Prepare the base:
    • In a blender or food processor, combine the avocados, cream cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
    • Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Whip the cream:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.
  3. Combine the mousse:
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the avocado mixture until well incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the cream.
  4. Add the smoked salmon:
    • Stir in the chopped smoked salmon and fresh dill. Taste the mousse and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
  5. Chill:
    • Transfer the mousse to serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight if you prefer).
  6. Serve:
    • Before serving, garnish with extra smoked salmon, lemon zest, or a sprig of dill for a festive touch.

This mousse pairs wonderfully with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks, making it a delightful addition to any Christmas or holiday spread.
