Pure ambrosia. Tinted a beautiful, pale-green, this South American dessert is irresistible on a hot summer's day. And since avocado is a fruit, and not a vegetable, it makes perfect sense to use it in this way. Enjoy! Cooking time refers to the time it takes to chill.

Time 4h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large avocados
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (or lime juice)
3/4 cup superfine sugar (more or less to taste)
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Peel, pit and roughly chop the avocado.
  • An easy way to remove the pit: after halving the avocado, with a flick of the wrist, plunge a knife into the pit, then give a slight twist and remove.
  • Voila!
  • Place avocado flesh into a blender with the lemon or lime juice, and puree until smooth.
  • Transfer mixture to a bowl, and with an electric mixer, gradually blend in the sugar-- slowly, slowly does it.
  • Then add cream and salt (just a little salt at a time, tasting as you go, to avoid over-salting), and blend further until well mixed.
  • Distribute mixture between 6 stemmed glasses and chill at least 4 hours in the fridge.
  • (Freeze it if you wish, but it is nicer just chilled).
