| 15 | Avocado Pudding - it sets kind of like chocolate dairy food yoghurt - I used to make it when my miss 3.5 was dairy free...the kids loved it
1/4 Cup Margarine
1 cup avocardo puree
1 cup icing sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup corn flour In a medium saucepan melt the margarine over low head. Stir in the avocado puree, sugar, cocoa and vanilla. Cook, mashing well with a spatula to smooth out any lumps of avocado until the mixture thickens, 3 - 4 minutes. Off the heat gradually stir in the corn flour rchelley - 2011-10-02 17:45:00 |

| 17 | this is perhaps what is meant by the cheesecake, it is yummy and easy as.
Avocado Pie; make a biscuit crust, malt biscuits crush up and mix with butter, press this into a pie tin or cake tin, bring it up the sides. filling;1 mashed avocado 1/4 cup lemon juice combine this with 2 beaten egg yolks, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 1 tin condensed milk, 1/2 tsp salt, pour this into your pie crust and bake for 15-20 mins at 165. Topping; mix 1 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla essence, dont worry that it will be grainy as it is smooth as. I have made this basic recipe without the avocado and used blueberries, strawberries, the only fruit that did not work in it was kiwi fruit.
Use this recipe with mashed banana as well, yummy.

Do u have a recipe please? My recipe was similar to this. I would be inclined to put the mashed avocado through a seive to avoid any lumps 225g/8 oz/2 cups digestive biscuit (Graham cracker) crumbs
75g/3 oz butter or margarine, melted
For the filling:
10 ml/2 tsp powdered gelatine
30 ml/2 tbsp water
2 ripe avocados
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Grated rind of 1 lemon
100 g/4 oz cream cheese
75g/3 oz caster (superfine) sugar
2 egg whites
300 ml whipping or double (heavy) cream
Method:
Mix together the biscuit crumbs and melted butter or margarine and press into the base and sides of a greased 20 cm/8 in loose-bottomed cake tin (pan). Chill.
Sprinkle the gelatine over the water in a bowl and leave until spongy. Stand the bowl in a pan of hot water and leave until dissolved. Leave to cool slightly. Peel and stone (pit) the avocados and mash the flesh with the lemon juice and rind. Beat in the cheese and sugar. Stir in the dissolved gelatine. Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold them into the mixture using a metal spoon. Whip half the cream until stiff, then fold it into the mixture. Spoon over the biscuit base and chill until set.
Whip the remaining cream until stiff, then pipe it decoratively on top of the cheesecake. rainrain1 - 2011-10-03 08:51:00 |
| 19 | avocado cheesecake
Makes one 26cm springform tin
For the base:
180g butter, melted
2 cups Super wine biscuit crumbs
3 tbsp cinnamon sugar
For the filling:
4 eggs, separated
240g cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 avocados, mashed
1 lime, zested
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 cup caster sugar
To make the base: Place the biscuits and cinnamon sugar in a food processor. Add the butter in a steady stream until well-blended. Grease a springform tin well. Put the mixture into the tin, carefully pressing it into the bottom and sides. Place into the freezer to speed the setting process. Preheat the oven to 165C.
To make the filling: In a cake mixer, beat the egg yolks until light. Add the cream cheese, avocados, lime zest, lemon juice and sugar, beat until smooth. Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks, then slowly fold them into the avocado mixture. Pour on to the set base and bake for 25 minutes or until the filling is just set and slightly golden. Run a paring knife around the edge of the springform tin, remove and cool. Serve with poached tamarillos and plain yoghurt. |

| 35 | Avocado Icecream. (Made many times, a family favorite) 3 large, ripe avocados
Juice of 2 large lemons
½ cup sugar
600 ml cream. Scrape avocado flesh into kitchen wizz, add sugar and lemon juice, wizz till smooth but don’t over-process. Pour into bowl, lightly fold in UNwhipped cream. Pour into freezer container, freeze until half frozen, then beat with a fork (to break up ice crystals). When half frozen again, beat again with fork. Cover. Serve in scoops, with cream and fresh fruit. A delicious flavour, and superb texture. Can even be frozen in the avocado halves, making a hole for the "stone" effect, and filling this with berries when serving. Enjoy this unusual, buttery delight. |

Avocado prices haven't dropped much down here, unfortunately but definitely worth a try for a special occasion. samanya - 2016-01-17 12:42:00 |

saw some today in farm shop type place and $2.50 each I think (left them on the shelf) sob! huca1 - 2016-01-17 16:52:00 |
| 41 | I just blend up the avocados with lemon juice and freeze in snack bags. Take a bag out and leave to thaw on the bench, then mix in some sour cream, a bit of chilli and you have a nice dip or spread. Still using up frozen bags from last season, and no issues at all! dogbond - 2016-01-17 16:52:00 |
