BRAZILIAN AVOCADO CREAM
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.

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).

Steps:
- Peel and seed the avocados. Place avocado meat, sugar, and lime juice.
- in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth. Add just enough milk to give the mixture a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
- Spoon mixture into 6 dessert dishes, ramekins, etc. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour and serve cold.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or nearly black in color, with slightly soft flesh that yields to gentle pressure. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have blemishes.
- Chill the avocado cream before serving: This will help it to thicken up and become more flavorful.
- Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice is essential for giving the avocado cream its characteristic tangy flavor. If you don't have fresh lime juice, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Don't over-process the avocado cream: Over-processing will make the avocado cream too smooth and lose its chunky texture.
- Serve the avocado cream with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include diced tomatoes, crumbled bacon, chopped cilantro, or a squeeze of hot sauce.
Conclusion:
Brazilian avocado cream is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a dip, a spread, or a sauce. It's a great way to use up ripe avocados and it's also a healthy and delicious snack or appetizer. With its creamy texture and tangy flavor, Brazilian avocado cream is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
