I was a bit surprised to fine a box full of Avocados on my recent provison supplies. I’m sure that I didn’t ordered it for I believe that it is not available this time of the year here in Sweden. But, I just love they did supply it. It is one of my favorite dessert. Yes, you heard it right! We Pinoys love to eat ice-cold sweet and creamy mashed avocados.
In fact, I only discover that avocado are great to have on green salad after I sail and work with European crew onboard. And on one of my previous cargo vessel which is liner on Rio Haina, Dominican Republic, I saw stevedores enjoying a ripe avocado as a main course for their lunch. They just add a dash of salt on avocado and eat it with rice.
So, from Guacamole of the Aztecs, Main Course of the Dominican and Desserts of the Pinoys, Avocados are well loved around the world.

Now on with the cooking…
Sweet and Creamy Avocado
Prep. time: 5 minutes
Chilling time: 1 hour inside the freezer
Difficulty: Very Easy
Makes; 2 liters
Good for 12 crew
You will need;
2 kgs. ripe avocados
1 big tin (397ml can) sweet condensed milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla essence (optional)
extra sugar if you want a sweeter blend
Direction;
Be sure to use a ripe avocado for this dessert. Hard avocado are usually pick from the tree, you can soften it at room temperature for few days.
Wash the avocados before cutting it. Lay it lenghtwise on a chopping board. Cut into half. Rotating around the seed. Hold the cut avocado in your palm and twist the top half to separate. Give a good chop at the center of the pit/seed with a sharp knife, twist the knife to remove the pit/seed.
The inner yellow-green flesh of an avocado can easily be remove by squeezing the peel/skin when it is nicely ripen. You can also use a spoon to scrape out the flesh from the peel. Transfer it on a mixing bowl. Use a good potato masher when making this on large quantity.
Add the sweet condensed milk and vanilla essence. Mix until well blended, add sugar if you want a sweeter blend. Transfer on serving dish/bowl and cover. Keep inside the freezer for an hour or until chilled.
Bon appetit !!! 😉
Here’s how I do it;

Approx. $14 USD/Kilo of Avocado.

*DO NOT KEEP HARD AVOCADOS INSIDE THE FRIDGE, THEY WILL NOT GET SOFT.
Keeping it in your uncooked rice container will make it ripe more faster.

Wash the avocados before cutting it.
