What You’ll Need

To make this simple dessert, you’ll need just four ingredients:

  • Avocado – 1 large avocado
  • Condensed Milk – 1 can of condensed milk (14 oz or 397g)
  • Heavy Cream – 2/3 cup of heavy cream (or double cream)
  • Lime Juice – 2 tbsp of fresh lime juice (from about one lime)

How to Make it (in 3 Easy Steps)

Step 1. Cut the avocado in half and remove the seed. Scoop it all into a blender alongside the condensed milk, heavy cream, and lime juice.

Step 2. Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth. In a high-speed blender like Vitamix, that’s about 45 seconds. In a regular blender or food processor, it might take a bit longer (2-3 minutes).

Step 3. Transfer the mixture into 4 serving glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).

How to Serve it

As you can see this is easy to make.

You can go really elegant with this, and serve it in a fancy cocktail or dessert glass. Add fresh berries for both looks and to add some more tartness to balance out the sweetness of this dessert. Fresh raspberries, in particular, pair well with the flavors in this dessert.

You could also keep things simple with a dessert bowl or glass. As long as it fits in the refrigerator.

Recipe Notes

Note: This dessert is on the sweeter side (due to the condensed milk) so it’s great for everyone with a sweet tooth. But, for a less sweet (and slightly smaller) version, use the following ratios: 1 avocado with 2 tablespoons of lime juice with half a can of condensed milk (7 oz or 200 grams) and 1 cup of heavy cream (240 ml).
