Sweet Avocado Cream Food

AVOCADO CREMA

Steps:

• Combine lime juice, cilantro, garlic, avocado, crema, olive oil, salt, and pepper, in that order, in a blender. Blend until mixture is smooth.

SWEET AVOCADO CREAM

Steps:

• Place avocados in food processor or blender container; cover. Process until pureed. Add sugar and lime juice; cover. Process until well blended. (Mixture should have yogurt-like consistency.)
• Add sour cream, 1 Tbsp. at a time, through feed tube at top of food processor, processing until well blended after each addition.
• Pour into eight individual dessert dishes or one large serving dish. Serve immediately. Garnish with lime slices dipped in superfine sugar, if desired.

AVOCADO ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Chill the loaf pan in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Puree the avocado, milk, lemon juice and salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute; transfer to a large bowl.
• Whip the cream in another large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes. With a rubber spatula, fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the avocado puree until combined. Fold the lightened mixture back into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour into the chilled loaf pan, and place in the freezer until firm, 4 hours or overnight.

AVOCADO BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Peel and pit the avocado. Place the avocado into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment along with the lemon juice and beat until lightened in color, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time and beat until smooth. Add the lemon extract and mix to combine. If not using right away, store in the refrigerator.

BRAZILIAN AVOCADO CREAM

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).

SWEET AVOCADO MOUSSE

Steps:
