Since I have a special fondness for Tex-Mex fare, I'm no stranger to using avocado & this is amazingly simple. I must admit I've never made an avocado dessert & didn't even know you could. (Stated time does not include chilling time). Ingredients:
3 large avocados (fully ripe) |
1 cup cream |
caster sugar (to taste only) |
rum (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cut avocados in half lengthways. Remove seeds & reserve them. Scoop pulp from shells & mash smoothly w/a fork. Discard shells.
2. Add sugar to taste & stir in the cream.
3. Put in serving bowl, return seeds to the pulp, cover tightly w/plastic wrap & chill before serving. NOTE: The presence of the seeds in the puree is said to keep the avocado from discoloring, but the plastic wrap is always used as well.
4. To Serve: If desired, extra whipped & sweetened cream can be piped over the top of the dessert. While many favor adding rum for flavor, the delicate avocado flavor may be allowed to stand alone - or - the mixture can be divided & served both ways.
5. Personal Note: I would reserve the avocado shells & use them to serve this dessert.
