Dessert that looks like an Avocado
I have made this dessert to have a citrus avocado flavour naturally coloured by the avocado. If you’d prefer, you could use a food colouring and a cheesecake mixture instead.
To make the avocado dessert you will need:
Avocado Skins
200g (7.05 ounces) dark chocolate tempered makes 6 halves plus a little left over.
4 avocados scooped carefully to separate the yellow and green flesh (see video).
Lime Avocado Cream
430g (15.17 ounces) green avocado flesh
215mL (7.27 fluid ounces) milk
70g (2.47 ounces) sugar
3 tsp lime rind
2 tsp gelatin
2 tablespoons lime juice
Orange Avocado Cream
210g (7.41 ounces) yellowy avocado flesh
105mL (3.55 fluid ounces) milk
45g (1.59 ounces) sugar
2 tsp orange rind
1 tsp gelatin
Avocado Seeds
144g (5.08 ounces) white chocolate
18g (0.63 ounces) dark chocolate
120g (4.23 ounces) green avocado cream (see above)
Melt the chocolate and combine with the avocado cream. Pipe into a balloon the size of an avocado seed and freeze. In hindsight I’d make these a day ahead from straight ganache so they have time to freeze overnight (100g (3.53 ounces) milk chocolate and 35mL (1.18 fluid ounces) of cream).
Almond Praline
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
100g (3.53 ounces) slivered almonds

Hi
I made it and came our well
Thsnks for sharing
I just turned 11, and I wanted to make this, since it looked so cool. It was a lot harder than I anticipated, but 8t was so fun at the same time. It tasted really good, as well. My seeds didn’t turn out so well, so I put them in as a spot holder, then took them out at the end.
Hi Ann! I loved your recipe and I made it too! It turned out amazing! Thanks for the recipe.
Hey Ann, I’m a Lvl4 Culinary Student in NZ, Today I gave this a go and omg it was amazing, I also made a vegan option where I substituted some of the ingredients, Thank you for sharing this
Great job Jordaan ??
Hello ma’am i am working in pastry . i want to make a dessert with caramel can u help me?? Any suggestion for me ?? It is for competion .
There are so many caramel desserts here are a few https://www.howtocookthat.net/public_html/?s=caramel
is the whole recipe for multiple sweet avocados? or is just the chocolate measured like that , i only want to make one so would one whole acocado be enough.
thankyou ?
Hi Amy, yes, this recipe will make enough for 6 desserts.
Also if made ahead of time. Can freeze?
Hi. For the seed. What else can I put in the ganache it shud be good ? I stead if the avocado cream. I made the cream 1st by mistake and put everything in before putting a side
Hi Gelly, You could try just adding cream instead of the avocardo cream or use ganache and then freeze as per Ann’s suggestion.
Can this be made ahead of time? If yes how to store it?
Hi Ann can you make the seeds with frozen cream dyed?
Hi Katrina, You could try that but it will be more difficult to get the look of the seed and it won’t stay firm, it will soften quickly on thawing.
Request: I would love it if you made a video on those homemade recipe stuff in a jar that you can send to people in the mail and all the ingredients are in there things like cookies or brownies of sort 🙂 ❤️❤️❤️
Looks soooo yummy ?
Could you just make the avocado cream then split it into parts and just color them there proper colors? Also, does this quantity make just one dessert?
Hi Rachel, Ann made this recipe to have 2 flavours of cream, coloured by the avocardo. She also gives a link for a cheescake style cream that you can colour instead. This recipe makes 6 serves
Cool, thanks! If this makes 6 serves, what to do with the chocolate shell? Can’t you only make one shell per avacado skin you have?
Hi, I love your videos so much! I was wondering if I could use almond milk instead of regular milk? Thanks in advanced.
Hi Nir, Ann hasn’t tested that yet. If you try it, then let us know how it goes.
Hi Ann
Made this Avocado.itvcame out well.
All enjoyed it..
I did my own modification to the seed
Thanks for sharing
I used soy milk and it worked fine, I’m sure it would work with almond milk, it just won’t be as creamy.
