This webbed guacamole is a super-easy way to make a themed appetizer for your next Halloween party. Mexican crema (or sour cream) is used for the web and black olives make an edible spider. The avocado skull is a spooky bonus.

Time 10m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups guacamole
1/4 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
Lime juice, if needed
2 pitted black olives
Blue corn tortilla chips, for serving
1 firm avocado, skin-on

Steps:

  • For the web: Put a large round shallow bowl on a larger round platter. Fill the bowl with the guacamole and smooth the top with a spoon or offset spatula. Fill a squeeze bottle or pastry bag with Mexican crema or sour cream (thin it out with some lime juice if needed). Pipe 4 concentric circles of crema onto the guacamole. Using the tip of a knife or skewer, pull lines from the center circle out, creating a spider web pattern.
  • For the spider: Slice 1 olive in half lengthwise and use one of the halves for the spider body. Slice 8 long spider legs from the remaining 1 1/2 olives. Arrange the spider on the web. Surround the bowl of guacamole with the tortilla chips.
  • For the skull: Using a paring knife, make 2 eyes on the wide end of the avocado, cutting through the skin and flesh all the way down to the pit; discard the skin and flesh. Cut an upside-down heart shape just through the skin for the nose, then remove the skin, leaving the flesh showing. For the mouth, cut a long rectangle just through the skin and remove it. Use a skewer or the tip of a knife to draw lines on the flesh for teeth.

SPIDER WEB GUACAMOLE DEVILED EGGS RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Spider Web Guacamole Deviled Eggs Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by ROBandSEAN

Number Of Ingredients 13

GUACAMOLE EGG FILLING:
6 eggs, hard boiled
1/4 teaspoon purple gel food coloring in water
6 yolks of hardboiled eggs
1 avocado
Juice of one lime
1 to 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
Salt, to taste
Blue corn chips, crushed

Steps:

  • Boil eggs. Cool under running water and refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight. Remove eggs from the refrigerator and using the back of a spoon, tap the shells in various places. This is what gives you the spiderweb pattern. Into a large bowl and add enough water to cover the eggs and add the gel food coloring and mix well. Add eggs to colored water and Refrigerate the eggs overnight. Drain water and peel the shells to reveal the cool spidery webs of color. This is the most fun part of this recipe. The eggs are stunningly beautiful. I may never color Easter eggs the same way again. Cut eggs in half, place yolks in a food processor and continue to prepare the guacamole egg filling below. Place egg white halves in single layer in a shallow dish and refrigerate until ready to assemble. In a food processor, blend yolks, avocado, lime, and herbs and spices until very smooth. Transfer into a piping bag with a star tip and pipe into spiderweb eggs and garnish with crushed blue corn chips or red pepper flakes (not pictured) or even top with your favorite salsa for a bloody effect. Enjoy!
